The original OMEGA CK 2998 was released in 1959 and has since become one of the most iconic Speedmasters in the world. Today, that classic model has been used as inspiration for this timepiece.
The stainless steel case features a lightly sand-blasted silvery dial with a black minute track and a varnished red chronograph seconds hand, as well as blackened indexes and blackened hours and minutes hands that are coated in Super-LumiNova. The three black subdials include sand-blasted rhodium-plated hands.
The black ceramic bezel includes a white enamel pulsometer scale and the watch is presented on a black micro-perforated leather strap with a white rubber interior.
Driven by the famous OMEGA Calibre 1861, these watches have been produced in a limited series of 2,998 pieces. The Limited Edition number can be found on the caseback, along with the original Seahorse medallion.
Chronograph
The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A chronograph watch can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch.
Limited edition
A series of watches whose production run is determined in advance of production and limited to a set number.
Pulsometer
A watch with a scale to measure the number of heartbeats per minute.
Small seconds
A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute.

Key materials
Stainless Steel
Ceramic
Sapphire Crystal
1 / 3
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is certainly the most conventional of watchmaking materials for outer craftsmanship, and offers beauty, strength and affordability. OMEGA uses 316L stainless steel. Known for its corrosion-resistance and high lustre after polishing, this material is often the ideal choice for watches in both daily-use and high-stress situations such as diving and adventure.
2 / 3
Ceramic
OMEGA has unrivalled expertise in the use of ceramics, dating back more than 10 years. Taking its origin from the Greek word "keramos", ceramic is an inorganic, non-metallic substance obtained by firing at high temperatures. It allows the creation of completely dense watch parts with exceptional mechanical properties. Ceramic is one of the most popular choices for customers when selecting their timepiece, thanks to its appealing colour range and specific properties, such as it being two times lighter than stainless steel, hardwearing, highly scratch-resistant, chemically inert, hypoallergenic, and non-magnetic.
3 / 3
Sapphire Crystal
To really appreciate the finer details of a timepiece, OMEGA uses synthetic sapphire crystal with a highly scratch-resistant and anti-reflective treatment. Before the machining and finishing processes take place, the sapphire crystals are produced under the Verneuil process, also called flame fusion. It involves the melting of the raw substance using oxyhydrogen flame and the crystallisation of the melted droplets to form a cylinder. Graded 9 on the Mohs-hardness scale (graded 1-10), the resulting sapphire crystals are virtually scratch-proof and very hard, ensuring an unhindered vision at all times.
