Chronograph, more properly chronoscope is a watch with hands showing the hours, minutes and seconds, together with a mechanism controlling a chronograph hand mounted in the centre of the dial.  By the operation of the push-pieces, the chronograph hand can be set in motion, stopped and returned to zero. 
It completes one revolution per minute; a minute counter hand counts the revolution i.e. the minutes, usually up to thirty.

When Thomas Stafford and Leonov exchanged firm hand shake, on Stafford’s wrist was a Speedmaster, while Leonov was wearing an Omega FLIGHTMASTER (THE EXACT MODEL WE HAVE HERE)  - ONE OF THE BEST PROVED WATCHES IN THE WORLD OR OUTSIDE IT.

OMEGA Flightmaster Chronograph was developed specifically for pilots and is one of the Omega’s most popular timepieces.

Even though the cockpit is equipped with all the necessary time measuring instruments, pilots wanted their own personal watches.  Therefore, in addition to board instruments, Omega in Biel developed special watches for the aviators who demand precision and timeliness in aviation.

From 1930s to 1940s, large wristwatches (Caliber 35.5, 37.6 and CK2000 and CK2042) were custom made for this purpose. However, besides the revolving bezel with calibration and the subsidiary seconds, these watches did not have any additional complications. 

In 1969, Flightmaster was introduced by OMEGA, with 2 crowns at 8 and 10 o'clock respectively which were needed to set the outer chapter ring calibrated for 60 minutes and the second time zone, given by a second hour hand (i.e. the additional blue hand). In addition, the watch has a chronograph mechanism with different caliber 911 (subsidiary seconds) and Caliber 910 (with subsidiary dial for 24 hours).

This is one of Omega's Largest chronographs. A highly collectible item for Omega Chrono fans. 

The value of these flightmaster chronos escalates each time we see one, better get yours soon if you have not already got one...

IN NEAR MINT OVERALL CONDITION.

This special Speedmaster model, created for Baselworld 2005, commemorates not only the 40th anniversary of the first space walk, but also the 40th anniversary of the Speedmaster's flight qualification for manned spaceflight missions.

These important milestones are celebrated with a distinctive model with a blue dial and matching blue aluminium ring on the steel bezel.

C: Stainless Steel screw back case in NEAR MINT condition.

The watch measures 40mm excluding crown, 42 including and 48mm from lug to lug.

Original Omega signed crown. Original Round water proof pushers. 

The most striking features is the distinctive Gemini 4 mission patch, bearing the names of the crew, McDivitt and White, and an illustration of the first space walk, that is etched in colour on the sapphire crystal case back with the engraving "First Space Walk 40th Anniversary" and the limited-edition number (1996/2005).

D: MINT CONDITION 100% Original dial with luminous markers, auxiliary seconds and 30 minutes register dials, and 12 hours register at 6:00. Outer Tachymeter graduation.  MINT Original hands set.

The Gemini 4 limited-edition Speedmaster is characterised by its blue dial and silver counters for the 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counters and continuous seconds. The blue theme is also continued on the bezel, with the familiar tachymeter scale reproduced on a blue aluminium ring. The commemorative nature of the timepiece is indicated by a subtle red engraving 1965-2005 below the Speedmaster name at 12 o'clock on the dial.

The applied Omega symbol above the name, as well as 12 rhodium-plated hour markers, also add a hint of luxury and indicate that this Speedmaster is special.
