Catalogue Essay
Omega’s manual-winding caliber 33.3 CHRO is an icon among collectors. It was launched in 1933, originally as a monopusher chronograph, however by the late 1930s, the brand redesigned it, and used the movement in some of its finest two-pusher chronographs. In 1937, the caliber was fitted into Omega’s first water resistant chronograph watch, the reference CK 2077.
Featuring an oversized 38.5mm diameter case with screw-down caseback, this is an early, purpose-driven tool watch with its multi-scale dial and robust, highly water-resistant case construction.
Coming from the collection of an important private collector, the present CK 2077-4 features a stunning and exceptionally well preserved glossy black dial with tri-color gilt printing displaying both telemeter and tachymeter scales. With immense presence on the wrist, it is a beautiful example of the reference sure to please even the most discerning of collectors.

Swiss | 1848Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its 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 wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
