Notes

REF. CK 2914 was launched in 1957. The second in the famous OMEGA "MASTER" TRILOGY of watches, the RAILMASTER was aimed at professionals who worked near magnetic fields. The name "Railmaster" was chosen to reflect Omega's longstanding relationship with the railways. Indeed, in the early days of train travel, the high degree of precision achieved by Omega's watches led to their being preferred by many of the world's railways.
