This Omega chronograph is hard to come by as it was delivered to the Argentinian Air Force and carries their emblem still nicely visible on the back. The history that such military watches tell is often incomparable to others and considering that a civilian version of this model was never realized, with most of the military ones having been sold to the Hungarian and Polish Air Forces, this one from Argentina is one of the rarest versions to be found.
