A chronometer is a "super watch'
It has been specially made, specially adjusted, and has passed stringent govemment 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 goy-
ernment 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."1
