Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch case measures 39.7 millimeters in diameter and is constructed from stainless steel. It is identified by its straight-lug profile, a design element intended to distinguish it from other Omega models that utilize twisted or lyre-style lugs. The assembly includes a bezel displaying a 'Dot over 90' tachymeter scale, designed to replicate the aesthetic of the 1962 original. The dial is configured with Alpha-style hands. These are intended to reflect the design language of the historical CK2998 reference. The overall construction aims to balance historical design cues with contemporary manufacturing standards for daily wearability.

The inclusion of this modern caliber within a historically-inspired case is intended to combine elements of traditional manual-winding operation with updated horological technology.
