Omega
The Omega reference CK2042 is one of the rarest aviator wristwatches
made during 1930s. Featuring a relatively large 41mm case diameter, the
ref. CK2042 is a purpose-built utilitarian instrument for pilots during
the era. Part of a second variations of pilots watches by Omega, the
model is engineered to be strapped on the wrist over a flight jacket.
With a fluted rotating bezel that allows easy maneuver of the inner
12-hour bezel, the wearer can track flight time with ease. Fitted with a
rich black dial, the present timepiece is charmed with large luminous
Arabic military styled numerals giving it not only great legibility but
also a superb nostalgic appeal. Addition to attraction is the
impressively well-preserved crisp case and thick lugs, the numerals have
turned into a wonderful cappuccino color and add an air of debonair
elegance to an already incredibly appealing watch.
