The Omega Chrono-Quartz is rare amongst modern wristwatches as the calibre 1611 “Albatros” was only used on this one single watch which was produced for the Montreal Olympics in 1976; the watch was only made in a run of approx.15,000 units – it is the world’s first digital-analogue wrist chronograph.
