Luxury jewelers 'First Omega' released the new Wrist Chronograph watch, a modern take on the classic design that will add a pop of luxury to any outfit.
The new piece is limited to just 18 examples, making it as exclusive as it is stylish. Each watch is powered by an original 18 CHRO caliber movement that dates all the way back to the original technology in 1913. Each movement is sourced from legacy timepieces that are all held by the brand's museum. With a careful refurbishment, each part of history can be seen through the hatched caseback.
The luxurious Wrist Chronograph Watch is finished off with a 47.5 mm 18K white gold case that was added to hold all movement, while still being adorned with a stylish white enamel dial and two Empire blue hands.
