OMEGA Stainless steel "Cosmic" watch with full calendar and moonphase. Ca 1947s.  When watches with a full calendar and phases of the moon gained popularity, Omega developed such a model.  It was one of the novelties of 1947 and carried the name "Cosmic", which although did not appear on the dial of the watches, are well known amongst the collectors.

Well, we are glad to present this EARLIER & RARER model with movement Cal. 27DLPCAM.   You usually see the subsequent version ( CLICK HERE TO SEE eg ) with movements numbered 381 since 1949.

For me, what makes this watch so great are its many complications!!! Six hands and three discs make the following functions possible:

1. Hour of the day--12 hrs

2. Minute of the hour

3. Subsidiary seconds hand

4. Chronograph 30 Minute register with Jumping hand

5. Chronograph Hour register with 12 hour capacity

6. Day of the Week window

7. Month of the Year window

8. Date aperture at 4:00

9. Moon phase indication.

Other than perpetual calendar function (which will cost you astronomically), this timepiece is probably as complicated as one can get and the  functions are all within a watch case which you can wear on your wrist.

Vintage 1970s MOVADO ASTRONIC HS 360 , 31 JEWELS , SUPER SUB SEA Tripledate Moonphase Chronograph.  Circa 1972.    As you are probably aware, ZENITH has an exact model named ESPADA with similar features.  This is because Zenith and Movado were sister companies in the 1960's-70's.  As evidenced in one of the pictures, with a product tagline  "MOVADO -  A ZENITH TIME PRODUCT".

I understand that according to the Zenith archives; only 200 of these were ever produced: 100 Movado Astronics and 100 Zenith Espadas....  So this is a very desirable and hard to find complicated timepiece, the value of which will only appreciate over time.  Be ONE OF THE ONLY FEW in the world to own this beautiful timepiece now !!!!!
