So, for the 'Silver Anniversary', the choices of metal were simple: steel, 18k white gold and platinum. The production quantity was limited to 2'500 pieces in steel, 500 in 18k white gold, and 50 in platinum. We understand that the white gold version was available with either a beautifully finished and massive white gold bracelet, or a plain alligator strap. According to the archives of Omega, this example here was sold in 1997 to Hong Kong, fitted with a leather strap. Accordingly, we can conclude that the original owner had the present correct white gold bracelet added at his request, quite likely at a substantial cost. This fantastic and rare example has such a presence, from the crisp case and bracelet, to the stunning silver dial prominently featuring the word ‘Chronometer’ which makes this one of the few ‘Moon Watches’ to be both chronograph and chronometer.
