Item History & Price
Omega Marine Chronometer Megaquartz Caliber 1516, REF. 198.0082 for repair. Condition is "Pre-owned".
This superb 2.4mhz chronometer is for repair or parts as it does not currently run. I do not know what is wrong with it and suspect it may be a dead battery, but I have no way of knowing and the watch is sold as is. Externally, the watch is just as I bought it (I now wear a very nice RR-grade 14k Acutron that keeps excellent time, so I have not had this one fixed). It has the... original stainless case and 14k gold bezel, with the factory Omega band with 17 links. Neither the watch nor the band has been polished, and it awaits your wrist or refurbishmentBoth the band and watch are in very good condition, with the usual indications of having been worn but no major gouges or scratches. When new this watch was one of the most accurate in the world, accurate to 1 second per month, and was the first quartz watch to be certified an observatory chronometer. This is a stunning piece with only 8000 ever made by Omega, and one which will only become more collectable as time goes on! Running examples are currently selling in the $2900-$4000 dollar range.Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! The watch will ship with the standard insurance unless the buyer requests otherwise!
