thats a nice watch.

i had the chronometer bracelet version of that
watch until recently. its a shame it was a midsize, but nice low ltd ed number.
nothing silly like 5000. just 194. its nice to see the box and all the straps.
mine had all the papers incl COSC, but no box.

 
i've seen one on the bay with quartz movement which
i think is probably 'not right unless there were 194 auto chronometers and 194
quartz. is that possible?

 
if anyone knows the info would be
useful

i have had the honour of owning several 'Olympic' Omegas, but its nice to see that some of their best timing innovations had nothing to do with wristwatches or 'mechanical' timing at all. its also interesting to see that a lot of their devices are of an e...

MY only complaint is that the XIX will be sold in such limited quantities. So frustrating - just like the Marine museum re-creation, these are so ridiculously hard to come by...

Interesting post!
