NOTES: The Omega Railmaster ref. CK 2914, the predecessor to the 135.004, was launched in 1957 (part of the “Holy Trinity”) and designed for professionals such as scientists, technicians and electricians working within close distance of powerful electric currents. This antimagnetic watch has a special 1mm (instead of 0.4mm) thick matte black dial, with luminous hour markers and hands. The following 135.004 reference had a a transitional lower radium/tritium indexes and dauphine hands (eventually pencil hands later), but kept the antimagnetic features of its predecessor.
