Spotlight: Beautiful Omega w/ Religious Dial.

In my opinion there are few pieces more beautiful than a classic Omega. This Pre-Seamaster Omega is no exception and is extremely rare and unusual. Introduced in 1937 this Omega features a medallion of St. Christopher on the dial. For those of you who haven't been to Sunday school in a few years. St Christopher is the Catholic patron saint of travelers. The price for this piece in 1937 was a reported 450 Swiss Francs. This would have been quite a sum for any watch, especially one made in stainless steel. This piece can be yours for around $6,000 U.S. If you can find one available.
