Released in 1976 to celebrate the Montreal Olympics, the Omega Seamaster Chrono-Quartz boasts a design based on sports timing scoreboards, with a width exceeding 51mm and weight over 150 grams. Its caseback carries both the Seamaster logo and Olympic crest, and it's the only watch powered by Omega's in-house caliber 1611 'Albatros' movement, one of the first analog/digital hybrids. At introduction, its price was more than double that of a Speedmaster Professional; photo courtesy of Antiquorum.
