Ahh, the eighties. Big hair, MTV...wait, are the eighties cool again? 🤔 These models are shown below in a 1987 German catalog. They were priced at 2200 DM for steel & gold models, and 10800 DM for 18k gold. Roughly translated, Omega said this about the designs:

"ANKH CROSS As a hieroglyph, the Ankh Cross symbolizes life and immortality: It symbolizes the wholeness and completeness of human life and is simultaneously the key that opens access to eternity. It is often used for healing, as it symbolizes the miraculous powers of the pyramids. The Ankh Cross consists of a round or oval ribbon over two rectangularly arranged beams. The circle represents the divine sun, which rules over heaven and earth.

In the graphic representation, the interaction between the divine and earthly realms is illustrated by the vertical and horizontal axes of the symbol. Similar to the Yin and Yang principle of Far Eastern culture, the Ankh Cross also symbolizes the balancing of antagonistic principles."
