Review of Omega Milestone 1941 Museum Collection 7 comments
There is no secret that Omega watches are among the most beloved watches all over the world. Firstly released in December 1983, the iconic Omega Museum Collection is specially released to combine the brand’s historical milestones with current advanced technology. Every year, Omega selects a classic and remarkable timepiece that has over 50 years’ history to creating a brand new innovated version model. Here I’m proud to present its ninth release the Milestone 1941 chronograph watch.
The new timepiece is closely based upon the stainless steel CK2080 model Omega introduced in 1938. During that time, the CK2080 was particular favored by most top-ranking officers of the military. In particular, the new one also inspired from a specific example dating to 1941, which ended up being auctioned off at 2007′s Omegamania event.
Compared to the former versions, New Milestone 1941 is added into modern advanced technology. It features 38mm case in 18-karat white gold with a black alligator strap and white gold buckle. It runs off an exclusive Omega calibre 3203 movement. The manual-winding chronograph is a COSC-certified chronometer and features Omega’s Co-Axial escapement with a free sprung balance as well as a column wheel chronograph mechanism. The black varnished dial features a telemetric scale on its first outer ring graduated in kilometres per hour, a minute track on its second outer ring and a snail tachymetric scale on the inner ring based on 1000 units per hour. The numerals and indexes have been coated with Super-LumiNova to make sure the model can easily tell time in any light occasion. What’s more, it has two sub-dials: a 30 minute chronograph recorder at 3 o’ clock and small seconds counter at 9 o’ clock. Even there are two screws presenting in the moving endpieces, one to secure the alligator strap, and the other to connect the components to the case itself.
I’m sure all addicts of vintage military watches will happy with the model. While, I regret that it will be produced in limited 1,941 pieces all over the globe.
