The OMEGA Flieger CK700 is a historic military watch that dates back to the 1930's and 1940's. "Flieger," which means "pilot" in German, refers to the watch's primary purpose as a pilot's timepiece. The CK700 was highly regarded for its robustness, accuracy, and reliability. These attributes made it an ideal choice for military use during World War II. The OMEGA Flieger watches with the CK700 movement were issued to both German and British pilots, symbolising OMEGA's significant role in equipping military forces with precise and dependable timekeeping instruments. The watch's design was utilitarian, featuring a clear, easy-to-read dial, often with luminous hands and markers to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. The OMEGA Flieger CK700 is now a sought-after collector's item, representing a piece of horological and military history.
All watches are sold "As Is". Webb's make no guarantee of the future working order of the watch or battery life, and watches may need to be serviced to improve accuracy. Generally none of the watches have been tested for time keeping accuracy or running time, nor have any seals been tested on water-resistant watches. If they have been tested this is for indication purposes only and not guaranteed. Vintage watches may have been restored or repaired over the years, as such Webb's cannot guarantee that individual component parts are original or authentic.
