The Omega Chronograph Ref. 2077 is an iconic and rare timepiece from Omega's late 1930s production. It represents the brand’s first waterproof chronograph, featuring a screw-down caseback and round pushers—an innovation for its time. It is powered by the renowned Calibre 33.3 CHRO, a hand-wound movement highly regarded for its reliability and precision, used only in a limited number of models.

This first-generation example stands out for its engraved caseback and 38mm stainless steel case—an unusually large size for that era. The original dial, often equipped with tachymeter and telemeter scales, reflects the functional aesthetic of military and scientific instruments of the time. Highly sought after by collectors, this chronograph embodies a perfect balance of vintage design and technical heritage.
