Omega Dynamic Chronograph 5240.50: When the elegance of a military past meets modern precision on the wrist.
In the hushed atmosphere of an English lounge, a passionate collector carefully opens a metal box lightly patinated by time. Inside, accompanied by its warranty card precisely dated from 1997, lies the captivating Omega Dynamic Chronograph, reference 5240.50. A timepiece that embodies the rich and eventful heritage of Omega’s military watchmaking.
The Omega Dynamic collection originally emerged in the late 1960s, driven by Omega’s bold desire to appeal to a new generation seeking originality and ergonomics. However, in 1997, Omega chose to revisit its glorious past and reissued the Dynamic, this time drawing inspiration directly from its military archives of the 1940s. The tribute is unmistakable: its lines and spirit distinctly recall the famous "Dirty Dozen," watches commissioned by the British military during World War II—so beloved they were affectionately named after the twelve watchmakers appointed by Winston Churchill to equip the armed forces of the British Empire.
The 1997 Omega Dynamic captures this military aesthetic with subtle sophistication: a deep black dial, immediately legible thanks to its luminous Arabic numerals in a gentle, cream-toned hue. Its round stainless steel case, measuring a comfortable 38 mm, is robust without being imposing, perfectly fitting contemporary wrists while maintaining an authentic vintage flair.
Directly inspired by aviation chronographs from the 1940s, the Dynamic Chronograph features a harmonious arrangement of its counters at 3 and 9 o'clock, typical of pilot models from that era. Omega, however, has thoughtfully modernized it for practical everyday use, notably through the Omega caliber 1138 movement.
This automatic mechanical movement is celebrated for its precision, durability, and reliability. Based on the renowned ETA 2892-A2 caliber enhanced with a Dubois Dépraz chronograph module, the Omega caliber 1138 delivers performance worthy of the finest modern timepieces, while retaining the mechanical elegance of a classic watch. Its generous power reserve and ease of maintenance make it the ideal companion for any horology enthusiast seeking both heritage and practicality.
The watch is complemented by a high-quality leather strap, subtly aged to enhance its authentic military character. The strap features an Omega deployant clasp that is particularly pleasant to handle, providing comfort and security, while making the watch easy to put on and precisely adjust to the wrist.
Offered by Mostra Montres de Collectionneurs as a complete “full set,” this Omega Dynamic Chronograph reference 5240.50 narrates a tale of courage, adventure, and Swiss precision. Wearing this watch is to feel the discreet yet reassuring weight of history on your wrist, a timeless dialogue between yesterday and today.
