The Megaquartz was launched in 1974 and presented as one of the most accurate wristwatches ever made. It was the first watch produced with a TSA (time second adjustment) allowing the hour to be changed independently of minutes and seconds, a separate pusher on the case side for setting seconds, allowing for the “to the second” setting. The present watch houses the impressive caliber 1510 which was at the time, and still remains today, one of the most precise quartz calibers ever made, advancing by only a second per month! Housed in a very well preserved and impressive gold case weighing over 200 grams and featuring a superb aventurine dial whose golden inclusions resemble a star studded sky, the present Omega Megaquartz is believed to have been made in less than 200 examples in this configuration.
