"Alpha" gold hands. 7 1/4- tonneau, rhodium plated, 15 jewels, lever escapement, monometallic balance, selfcompensating Breguet balance-spring. Dial, case and movement signed. Dim. 23 x 38 mm. Notes This watch follows the technical principle of the "Armure " model, launched by Omega in 1929, though a little different. The back of the case comprises a groove in which the watch fits, and the extra stepped bezel comes on top of the case and crystal; that allows the watch to be water-resistant and super-shock-absorbant, the top bezel being a real armour for the watch.
