The watch was conceived in 1975 by the watch-master Raymond Froidevaux and it was manufactured by Omega in only 15,000 pieces starting from spring 1976 to celebrate the summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada held in that year.
The item of Swiss technology made history thanks to its innovative conception of calibre that took the name of Omega 1611. It was the first hybrid chronograph calibre in the world with an analogue part and double digital display, all regulated by the same quartz oscillator.
Given that this is an Olympic chronograph it can also count one-hundredths of a second.
