Why this Watch?

In the early 60s, a number of prominent brands collaborated on the development of what became known the Beta 21 movement at the Centre Electronique Horologer (CEH). Patek used it in their Cercle d’Or, Omega in their Electroquartz pieces and Rolex in the 5100.

This Omega is a really hefty beast,208 grams 18k gold case that measure 43x37mm and is 15mm thick !
The case has a left-hand, or destro setting crown and houses a gold dial with applied Omega logo. The watch has a red date wheel and red seconds hand with black enamel hour and minute hands.
