"In 1957, the invention of the "Chronostat" revolutionized the world of marine chronometry and enabled the company to conserve its dominant position in scientific and military high precision. It was Master of Time on the largest French aircraft carriers such as the "Foch" and the "Clemenceau". During the 1980s, however, Leroy time ba...ses were progressively replaced by atomic clocks, the only devices capable of surpassing those legendary instruments."
I will be listing a very Rare Omega Megaquartz 4.19MHz marine Chronometer soon.
It is in unused mint condition, for serious collectors. A TRUE MUSEUM PIECE.
