This wristwatch hails from the collection of Robert F. Kirk and was given to him as a gift on his 25th anniversary of working for Leeds & Northrup. The company, founded in 1899 in Philadelphia, manufactured electric instruments and pyrometers and remained in business until 1978 when it merged with General Signal.

Omega has always been a leader in watch innovation and accurate time keeping, and never at the expense of style. Names like Speedmaster, Flightmaster, Seamaster and Constellation, embody the spirit of adventure and action—they dare men to dream. And it is not just the names; Omegas are tested by athletes, astronauts and divers to ensure precision time keeping and ease of use in extreme environments. No wonder Omega watches are on most collectors’ top ten lists. 

Made for a life of action.
