The present example of the famed Omega 33.3 chronograph is being offered in excellent, untouched original condition, retaining strong unpolished lugs, oval pushers, and an original vibrant silver dial. The 33.3 was developed by Lemania and released in 1933, and remains a celebrated chronograph movement used by a variety of brands but made famous by Omega.
