Important Note: The present watch was formerly the property of an important Collector, who recently decided to offer part of his Omega military watches collection for sale. All his models are fully original, preserved in excellent condition, and provided with an Extract of Archives from Omega.
This watch is an incredibly rare Omega Railmaster Flightmaster ref. CK 2914 issued for the Peruvian Air Force (FAP – Fuerza Aérea del Perú) in 1963.
It is characterized by its special dial with the Flightmaster name instead of Railmaster, (as mentioned on the official FAP brochure of the period), and the FAP engraving on the caseback.
Furthermore, the watch is presented with its original 7912/6 steel bracelet.

Omega registered the name Flightmaster very early on. In fact, the Swiss Agency for Intellectual Property (BIRPI), under the number 201929, granted protection for the name on July 19, 1957 on behalf of Omega.
The registration of the legendary name at such an early stage clearly shows the brand’s devotion to aviation watches.
Whereas the first public appearance of the name Flightmaster on both dial and caseback of an Omega model dates back to 1958/1959, the 1957 registration of the model’s name offers a refreshingly new view on the collaboration between the brand and the Fuerza Aérea Peruana (FAP), for which the brand became an official supplier in 1958, with the name Flightmaster being registered before the first Peruvian order for the re-branded CK 2914 Railmaster models was placed.
Either way, it was on the wrists of the pilots of the Peruvian Air Force that the world’s first incarnation of the Flightmaster became famous. Even a quick glimpse at the watch confirms that it incorporates one of the most crucial ingredients of a pilot’s watch, or for that matter, of any watch worthy of its classification as a true instrument of the trade or toolwatch: unrivaled readability and legibility under all possible circumstances! The model’s anti-magnetic properties and the fact that it was powered by a derivative of Omega’s legendary 30mm caliber add greatly to the early Flightmaster’s status, turning it into one of the few supremely coveted models for watch collectors and lovers alike.
