Omega Genève, "Chronostop", Movement No. 27053775, Ref. 145.008, Cal. 865, 40 x 47 mm, circa 1969
A vintage wristwatch with "reduced" chronograph
Case: steel, screw back with Seamaster logo. Dial: black.
This marvellous Omega wristwatch is fitted with a single-button chronograph movement calibre 865, which was launched in 1966. While the red hand could be mistaken for a central second hand, it is actually a chronograph hand intended for timing short events. The Omega Chronostop also features a rotating internal bezel with 60 minute scale. The sturdy stainless steel case, the black dial and the red hand ensure that this timepiece is not only an incredibly functional tool but also strikingly attractive.
