Omega - Marine
Known as the first commercially available dive watch, the Omega Marine is a legendary and ingenious watch. Introduced in 1932, the double case design made the watch resistant to water intrusion. Omega tested the Marine in Lake Geneva to a depth of 73 metres. Examples of this watch rarely come up at auction, and there are even fewer precious metal examples.

- Unsigned manual wind movement. Together with a signed manual wind calibre 19.4T2.
