This poster takes us back to the 1930s - a time when men were still real men, women still sighed admiringly, and watches were bigger than their ego. Of course, the true gentleman racer wore a Swiss chronograph: not a gadget, but an attitude to life. While taking a turn at 120 km/h without a helmet and with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, he timed himself to the hundredth second. Not because he had to - but because he could. Omega, the message went, was not just a watch. It was a testament to superiority, elegance and slightly megalomaniacal ambition. If your wrist didn't wear Swiss steel, you might as well get on a bicycle. "Record di Precisione del Mondo", preached the advertising. And nobody wondered what that actually meant. It just sounded precise enough to be true.
