Omega “RCAF” Chronograph

Description

Up for grabs is a rare military-issue Omega monopusher chronograph, made for the Royal Canadian Air Force.  These watches were produced in the 1960s exclusively for the British and Canadian Air Forces, and were never sold to civilians; further, they are powered by the Lemania 2221 movement, with a hacking mechanism for military use.

This Omega RCAF chronograph is in excellent condition, especially considering it was a military-issued watch.  The case appears unpolished, and the issue numbers are still crisp on the outside of the caseback.  The dial shows almost no wear, with a small mark near the base of the hands.  Finally, the original tritium lume is present on both dial and hands, aged to a warm yellow color.
