Back in the Omega club

I sold my Speedy Pro a few years ago in an attempt to reduce the number of watches and had been without an Omega for a while.

Wasn't really looking to add anything else to the stable as I've been hunt on the for a RG Daytona. But had an opportunity to get back into the club and help out a colleague that was looking to unload a recent purchase so I pull the trigger on a vintage piece.

It's a YG chrono with a satine silver dial with YG and black baton indexes; and a tachymeter scale - circa 1950s. At 35mm the YG and silver dial makes it a versatile piece that can easily double as a dress watch as well as something sporty.
