About the Item

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating. OMEGA MUSEUM COLLECTION 1938 PILOT'S WATCH Collector's Series 5700.50.07 - Stainless Steel Like New Condition - Very Cool & Historically Interesting - 1 Year Warranty A Timeless Tribute to Aviation Excellence Enjoy the thrill of owning a piece that hearkens back to horological history. The Omega 1938 Museum Collection Pilot’s Watch, a meticulously crafted timepiece that pays homage to Omega’s legendary contribution to aviation, is the perfect fusion of vintage charm and cutting-edge craftsmanship. It's more than just a tool—it’s a symbol of precision, legacy, and the spirit of aviation. The Story Behind the Watch In the 1930's, Omega released a very unusual piece, the CK 2042 pilot's watch. They are coveted by vintage collectors but have easily reached 5-figures regularly at auctions in recent years. Though they have amazing presence and stunning art-deco styling, but their rarity puts them out of reach for most collectors. When Omega decided to create their Museum Collection, the first watch they released was this Museum Edition No. 1 1938 Aviator's watch. The original Omega Pilot’s Watch was designed to meet the demanding requirements of the aviation industry, combining legibility, durability, and reliability in a way that was ahead of its time. The Museum Collection pays tribute to that rich history, offering a modern interpretation of the original design that captures the essence of early 20th-century aviation, while staying true to Omega's relentless pursuit of excellence. A faithful and very lovingly reinterpreted modernization of the CK 2042, this watch maintained the original's size, dimensions, bezel and layout, with an accurately re-imaged dial and hands and modern Super-Luminova in the same style as the original radium. This certified pre-owned Omega 1938 Museum Collection Pilot’s Watch represents a connection to that legacy. The attention to detail, the exquisite craftsmanship, and the undeniable sense of history all combine to create an heirloom-quality timepiece that is as much a conversation starter as it is a precision instrument. It is all-original and in mint condition - a 9.8 out of 10. The only wear to the watch is the tiniest bit on the edge of the case where the back is designed to be pried open for servicing. Otherwise it presents like new. It is number 391 in a limited edition of 4938. Key Features - Movement: Powered by Omega’s reliable Caliber 2200 automatic movement, it provides exceptional accuracy and a rich tactile experience with every turn of the crown. - Case: With a 41mm stainless steel case, brushed to perfection with a timeless, vintage-inspired design it strikes an excellent balance between ruggedness and sophistication. - Dial: Its bold black dial with luminous hands and markers offers fantastic legibility under many conditions. The contrast between the dial and the white markers enhances visibility, making it as practical as it is stylish. Why We Love it This Omega 1938 Museum Collection Pilot’s Watch is not just a timekeeper—it’s a tribute to the golden age of aviation. It offers a connection to the pioneers who relied on precision timekeeping to navigate the skies, a connection to a time when the world was just beginning to understand the potential of flight. Whether you’re a watch enthusiast, a lover of aviation history, or someone who simply appreciates timeless design, this Omega 1938 Museum Collection Pilot’s Watch will take you on a journey through time and legacy—one tick at a time. One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, serviced the watch which carefully inspecting it, installing a new Omega mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $595 value).

It’s a celebrated part of Omega lore that the brand’s Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch to make a lunar landing. But the universal love for vintage Omega watches isn't confined to astronomers, and there’s more to the company’s heritage than the story of the Moonwatch.

The house’s origins date to 1848, when Swiss watchmaker Louis Brandt first set up shop. His sons Louis-Paul and César took over after his death, and in 1894, the pair developed an intriguing new movement.

Not only was it highly accurate, but every part was replaceable, making it easy for any professional to service. The Brandts called their movement the Omega, and as its popularity spread, they changed their company’s name to that of its flagship product.

In 1917, the British Royal Flying Corps designated Omega as an official supplier, and during World War II it became the principal watch supplier for the British forces and their allies. These commissions further strengthened Omega’s commitment to ensuring its products’ reliability under extreme conditions. In 1948, it launched the versatile Seamaster. Developed as a dive watch, the Seamaster proved its durability at high altitudes and freezing temperatures, as well. (Here is the 1stDibs guide to spotting a fake Omega Seamaster.)

Thanks in part to its rugged reputation and Omega’s links to the British military, it became James Bond’s watch of choice in 1995, appearing in GoldenEye and every succeeding Bond movie; it returned in 2021’s No Time to Die. Nevertheless, the most famous Omega by far is the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957. The first chronograph to display its tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of the dial for easier readability, it was quickly adopted by engineers and scientists.

Worn by Buzz Aldrin during the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar mission, it’s the only watch certified by NASA for extravehicular activity (space walks) — and, as far as we know, the only one approved by the Russian space agency, too.

Watch aficionados and aficionadas alike can find vintage Omega watches today on 1stDibs.
