Dear fellow watch enthusiasts, I am seeking additional info on the split-second chronograph in the picture. It belonged to my late father who used it in motorsports last century (Monte Carlo Rally etc.).

The watch is in perfect working order, with some light signs of use and it currently sounds a little dry. The back of the watch has an engraved encircled P.

I have been able to find a similar watch on worthpoint.com but other than that not much information to be found on the Interwebs - is this a rare watch?

I would very much appreciate it, if you could provide me with additional information on the watch, its rarity and value.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello aape, I believe the P in the back stands for Perkko. They used to import Omega to Finland.
