292-4334 Pocket watch: extremely rare Omega chronometer ‘Calibre DDR’ in an ornate case with original box, ca. 1906
Ca. Ø50 mm, approx. 133g, American ‘True-Hinge’ ornate case of exceptionally solid build quality, Omega chronometer movement ‘Grade DDR’ with 23 jewels, signed Louis Brandt & Frère, No. 2618611, original enamel dial, signed Brandt, steel hands, in working order, sensational, as good as new condition of the case, with original box. The term ‘Omega Grade DDR’ in the context of the Canadian railway refers to one of the most exclusive and precise pocket watches in the history of horology. The abbreviation ‘DDR’ does not stand for the German Democratic Republic, but denotes the highest quality grade of movements manufactured by Omega between 1905 and 1911. Due to their exceptional accuracy, these extremely rare chronometers were officially approved for service use by Canadian railway companies such as the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). Only 900 of these chronometers, which met the requirements for observatory chronometers, were produced.
