The Omega Flightmaster was introduced in 1969 and was discontinued in 1973. During its four year production the watch went through 2 different generations, the first using the caliber 910 based on the 321 (the present lot) and the second using a caliber 911, which replaced a 24-hour day/night indication with a constant seconds subsidiary dial. The present lot is an 18k yellow gold version with a special gold dial that was made in only 200 examples.
