METEOR | Porclain Multicolor Dial
Subseconds Dresswatch
1950s
This Meteor masterpiece was well ahead of its time!
Long before the first Omega landed on the moon, this meteor was already a streak of light, with super-dark blued hands & a multi-coloured porcelain dial.
The number circle in blue shows the second half of the day. This Meteor was fitted with a nickel-galvanised case with a highly elegant shape and equipped with an ultra-fine Swiss hand-wound calibre. The watch, the movement and especially the precious porcelain dial are in superb condition. This Meteor was only produced in very limited numbers for South America.

The word "meteor" comes from the ancient Greek μετέωρος metéōros, meaning ‘floating in the air’, where it originally also included phenomena in the sky and therefore some celestial bodies. Many such phenomena were already described in ancient times, for example by Aristotle in his work Meteorology.
The term “meteor” is used to describe the lighting up of shooting stars when they burn up as small rock or dust particles in the high atmosphere, as well as the lighting up of larger bodies (fireballs).
Most shooting stars are almost always seen in the second half of the night, because the observer is then on the front side of the earth's movement around the sun. This becomes particularly clear when observing meteor swarms such as the Perseids in August or the Geminids in December.
