The Omega Cosmic Moonphase watch was originally introduced to the market in 1947. It was Omega's first watch featuring a full calendar combined with moon phases. The shape started with a round one and eventually evolved to the square one. The ref. 3944 is the last Cosmic for Omega and it is perhaps the rarest version of the Cosmic line.
The ref 3944 featured an oversized 32.5x36mm case with elaborate fancy lugs. It used caliber 381 and it was produced in 14k yellow gold for the American market and 18k yellow gold for the European markets, and in Rose Gold which is the rarest of the three metals produced.

I used to own one Omega cosmic squre moonphase during the late 1990s. For some reasons, I have traded it away, a decision that I have regretted. After much searching, I have finally managed to get one back after more than 20 years.
