Radar: Under Appreciated & Under Valued.


This Omega Chronograph featuring the Caliber 27 (Later to be renamed the Caliber 321) is an early predecessor to the now infamous Omega Speedmaster. This Piece is exceptionally beautiful and features the movement created by Albert Piguet while working for Lemania. For a mere $2500 USD one of these can be purchased and considering this is in a precious medal (gold) and has a rock-solid movement, $2500 is a steal (or at least it will be in 5 years IMHO.) Collector's already know that Lemania use to make some of the finest chronograph movements. How Fine, you may ask? Fine enough for watchmaker Patek Philippe to use in their early chronographs.
While these vintage Omega watches may not get the sort of recognition a vintage Rolex does, savvy collector's have already began to sweep these up. I think I may pick this one up for myself.
