Omega Museum Collection N° 1 “Pilots 1938” MOP 5770.71.01

Omega's Museum Collection reissues watches from the brand's museum that are more than fifty years old. Omega's own page for the black-dial steel 5700.50.07, which it calls the 1938 Aviator re-edition, gives the same 40.2 mm steel case with luminous Arabic numerals, an inner rotating bezel and the automatic chronometer calibre 2200A.

The MOP trades that black dial for a lighter one. The 5770.73.03 carries the same MOP name and 40.2 mm steel case. The Aquarella references, from the 5771.71.56 Amethyst to the 5780.71.56 Rubies, keep the case and mother-of-pearl dial and are each named for a stone, among them tsavorite, aquamarine, mandarin garnet and black diamonds.
