Omega, a brand synonymous with groundbreaking watchmaking, proudly showcases its rich heritage rooted in sports timekeeping—a legacy of precision and reliability that has spanned generations. This narrative comes to life on the Omega website, underscoring the brand’s unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional wristwatches. This historical tapestry of the 1960s when the Pakistan Air Force sought nothing but the best, turning to Omega for a special model. The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was founded on August 14, 1947, and has played a crucial role in Pakistan’s defense. Since its inception, it has gone through various phases, distinguishing itself in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and engaging in technological modernization. The PAF has participated in international peacekeeping and relief missions. Despite challenges, the air force has maintained high standards of preparedness. In 1964, the reference 135 004 emerged, a testament to Omega’s prowess in creating timepieces that are not only reliable but also extraordinary. This reference was crafted in two versions, with the present watch belonging to the first, featuring a serial number of 20’476’XXX—a true rarity with fewer than 100 pieces. Behold a timepiece that transcends the ordinary—the present lot is a meticulously preserved stainless steel specimen, where the case showcases clear and deep engravings on the back. The dial, a testament to the passage of time, has aged gracefully, adorned with a captivating patina that enhances the allure of its indexes and hands. This exceptional military watch isn’t just a timekeeping instrument: it’s a rare and perfect embodiment of Omega’s legacy.
