In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 52 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

321.50.42.50.02.001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a yellow gold case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Inside: Caliber 3313

The 3313 is Omega's co-axial column-wheel chronograph, built on the Frédéric Piguet 1285 base and the successor to the 3303. It powers 122 watches in this library. The 1285 is a compact integrated chronograph with a column wheel and a vertical clutch, and Omega fitted it with the co-axial escapement to make the 3303 in the early 2000s and then the 3313, which added a free-sprung balance. It runs at 28,800 vph with a 52-hour reserve, 36 jewels and a 30 mm diameter, is COSC-certified, and shows a date at 6 o'clock between the two counters. It was the chronograph of the co-axial era until the in-house [9300](/calibers/omega-9300) arrived in 2011. In the library it sits under 37 [De Ville](/brands/omega/de-ville) Co-Axial Chronoscopes, 26 first-generation [Planet Ocean](/brands/omega/seamaster-planet-ocean) chronographs at 45.5 mm, 20 [Aqua Terra](/brands/omega/aqua-terra) chronographs, 17 [Constellation](/brands/omega/constellation) chronographs, 14 [Speedmaster Broad Arrows](/brands/omega/speedmaster-broad-arrow) and 3 [Railmasters](/brands/omega/railmaster). Cases run from 35 mm to 45.5 mm, with 41 mm the most common at 31 references. The [2500](/calibers/omega-2500) is the three-hand co-axial of the same generation, and the [9900](/calibers/omega-9900) the Master Chronometer chronograph that eventually replaced the line.

121 other watches in the library run the Omega 3313.
