Omega continues to contribute to the retro design trends with a faithful restoration of a 1913 chronograph used by military aviators during the First World War. This reproduction is officially titled the Wrist-Chronograph Limited Edition, which will fetch up to CHF 120,000 or US $120,972 on the market.

Omega was among the pioneers of this growing watch trend.
