A chronometer is a "super watch"
It has been specially made, specially adjusted, and has passed stringent government tests for accuracy. For fifteen days and nights—it has been tested in five standard posi tions, at temperatures ranging from freezing cold to trop-
ical heat.
Every Swiss chronometer is sold with an Official Rating Certificate showing just how it performed in these gov-
emment tests,
Particularly good chronometers are awarded a distinctive notation "especially good results" printed on this cer- tificate.
Before you buy a chronometer, look to see whether it is officially certified with "especially good results." Every Omega Constellation is!
You'll know the Omega Constellation by the gold star on the dial... the observatory engraved on the back of the case... and the name "Constellation"—your guar- antee of an "especially good chronometer."
Why is Omega famous for its précision ?
Since 1943 the world's most bighly prized watches have competed in Geneva's " annual contest for wrist watch accuracy. Out of tight constențiva conteste, six have been won by Omiga... your guaranteà of consistent perfection.
