  • Provenance

    The George Daniels Horological Collection, Sotheby’s London, 6 November 2012

  • Catalogue Essay

    Originally from the estate of Dr. George Daniels, this 18 karat rose gold Omega Hour Vision was presented as a gift by the brand to the inventor of the Co-Axial escapement that now features in nearly all their mechanical watches. The present watch was sold when Daniels’ private collection was auctioned in 2012.

    The present watch, offered in fantastic condition, is powered by Omega’s own automatic 8611 caliber movement with annual calendar that will automatically correct the date for long and short months. The caseband is uniquely equipped with sapphire crystal windows enabling a broader view of the rhodium finished movement, with a version of Daniels’ famous Co-Axial escapement beating within.

  • Artist Biography

    Omega

    Swiss • 1848

    Omega'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.
