·Hi all
This 35mm beauty features the 146DP handwound chrono movement. The 146HP and DP were the last manual wind chronograph movements used prior to the introduction by Zenith of the El Primero automatic high beat chronograph in 1969.
Case: solid 18k yellow gold. Been well cared for, no evidence of excessive wear or polish - the facets on the straight lugs are still clear and sharp.
Dial: original sunburst dial, with no blemishes.
Strap: Nil. Head only.
References: plenty! https://omegaforums.net/search/6470385/?q=Canberraomega&o=date&c[title_only]=1&c[node]=10
The whole watch head is 35g, so my estimate is that there is probably 15g of 18kt gold (based on a very scientific request of Google AI)?
Price: 300 EURO / 5000 AUD / 3525 USD
All photos taken by me on 22 April 2026.
Pricing has been difficult, as there are not many of these available.
The ones I can find available at the moment are:
We won't even talk about these ones:
