The Omega calibre 27 CHRO C12 is one of the most important clockworks in the history of Swiss watchmaking. It was developed in the 1940s and laid the foundation for some of the most iconic chronograph clockworks that Omega produced in the decades that followed. Its technical sophistication and reliability made it a favourite in the world of chronographs, and it served as the basis for several famous calibres such as the Omega 320 and the legendary 321.
The calibre 321, which evolved from the 27 CHRO C12, gained fame when it was used in the Omega Speedmaster - the first watch on the moon. Although the 27 CHRO C12 never achieved the same iconic status as the 321, it remains an essential component in the development of this legendary watch.

Vault watch, despite its age the watch is in excellent condition.
From the collection of an important Cologne watch connoisseur.
