A fine and rare Omega who won the Kew-Teddington precision competition
WHY IS THIS WATCH SPECIAL
The Omega 'Teddington' was manufactured for the Brazilan market only and produced in limited quantity. The gilt red star applied under the Omega logo signifies that this watch has the same caliber as the one who broke all records at the 1940 Kex-Teddington precision competition. Because this model was produced in a limited quantity and only for the Brazilian market, it is extremely difficult to find 78 years later one exemplary, like this one, with its original (of course) dial in such great condition. This is truly a collectors watch.
THE STORY
Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chax de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed it's name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph to be chosen by the NASA in 1965, the first watch worn on the moon.
THE DATA
THE IMPORTANT DETAILS
This watch is in extremely good condition for its age. The case is well preserved, and the beautiful two-tone unrefinished original silver white dial with blued steel hands looks great. This is a fine classic vintage timepiece, elegant and rare, with a presence on the wrist, perfect for everyday wear.
