This item represents an opportunity to acquire the first example of an Omega watch manufactured with the Co-Axial escapement. Now featured in most Omega watches, this escapement was invented by the Late Dr George Daniels, who spent much of his life living in the Isle of Man. He successfully invented a new type of escapement unaffected by friction and, therefore, requires very little lubrication, extending the time between service intervals. The owner of this watch has carefully curated some exclusive Omega documents to accompany the watch, which has never been worn and is expected to become highly collectable in future years.
