A description appears on page 174 of ‘A Journey Through Time’. There is also an interesting description with the most beautiful images by Steve G in 2007:
I have owned the watch for several years (about 10 years) but it is no longer in the area which particularly interests me.
I am asking 7,800 Euros (or equivalent in other currencies).
The watch is in beautiful, original condition. It comes with a copy of the Neuchâtel ‘Bulletin de Marche’ from 1935 and two certificates of competition success from Neuchâtel Observatory competitions in 1933 and 1934.
There is also a lovely stand – but I don’t know whether this was original because I don’t think Omega made stands – and would not have done for a competition watch. Regardless, it is a lovely stand.
As you see, the movement number of the watch is 7049453.
Shipping arranged mutually.
If you are interested, please PM me for further details.

Founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He travelled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control. Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen district of Bienne, where headquarters are still situated today. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
