Omega Flightmaster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Omega Flightmaster is a vintage hand wound chronograph made by Omega SA between 1969-1972.[1]

The Flightmaster came in 2 versions, an earlier model that had a 24 hour time register at 9 o'clock instead of the running seconds register. The movements used are the 17 jewel Omega manual wind calibre 911 or the 24 hour model used the Omega manual wind calibre 910. This wristwatch is larger than most watches of its era and measures 43mm wide by 52mm long.

This watch was created for pilots and was marketed by Omega as such. There is evidence that Flightmasters were used by Soviet Cosmonauts.[2]
