    For Sale-1960 RCAF Omega HA60, asking USD$ 18,000. 36mm

    The RCAF 100th anniversary is rapidly approaching, 01 April 2024. Don’t miss your opportunity to acquire this rare piece of history.

    UBER RARE 1960 RCAF Omega HA60 single pusher chronograph. This version of the RCAF Omega was issued to RCAF Aircrew from about 1960-1967, after which Breitling won the contract. The dial, hands, and pusher are original. The crown has been replaced. Lovely caseback with full RCAF military serial number, and I have Not polished this so it retains all of the 'history' the pilot put there.

    Omega won the RCAF contract (post Rodania), supplying two models of single-pusher Chronographs in two batches. They were the 1960 HA60 and the 1962 HA62. While both use the unique Omega/ Lemania 2221 movement (solely for the RCAF, with no civilian equivalent or usage).

    While most published sources quote that 460 Omega HA60s were produced, in actual fact there were only 223 recorded HA60 watches (about 130 Destroyed-from Omega Museum/ PC).

    There are only about 93 x HA60s left in the world, thus exceedingly rarer than the Lemania Viggen, Breitling 817s etc, which are now trading at about 20k.

    This chronograph is accompanied with a Letter of Provenance, from 403 Sqn Gagetown.

    The dial and original lume have a lovely patina. The chrono function is crisp. 36mm across excluding crown, 18mm lugs. It comes on a Black two piece nylon strap.

    This Omega is powered by the Omega 2221 (Lemania) hacking movement. This movement is unique to the RCAF Omega with none in any civilian chronographs. I have had the movement serviced.

    USD$ 18,000 plus Fedex Courier. Wire Transfer preferred. Paypal add 4%. Returns only if not as described or pictured. I do NOT guarantee water proofing of this vintage timepiece.
