According to the Archives of the Omega Museum, the present watch is part of a group of three of such watches delivered to Sweden on 15 November 1943. The movement of the present watch is part of a small series of 66 examples of the celebrated calibre 47,7 mm. produced between 1919 and 1920, numbered 5'337'836 - 5'337'091. Based on its double numbered movement of "Observatory" quality it can be assumed that it was submitted to an Observatory trial.

In 1919, Omega's deck chronometer 21''' broke all records with 31,3 points at the Neuchâtel Observatory trial. Symbol of Omega's high precision movements, the 21''' calibre was slightly modified and renamed 47,7 mm., achieving world records in all categories at the Kew Teddington contests in 1933 and 1936.

For a description and illustration of the calibre see Omega Saga by Marco Richon, pp. 170, 190 & 192.
