Through the late 1970s Omega was moving its quartz calibres into exactly these conservative gold-filled forms, aimed at the American corporate market. Twenty five year service awards were bought in quantity by companies like Kraft, which is why so many survive, and why so few still carry the name of the man who earned one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003chr size=\"2\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOffered by ReWrist.
