Omega Genève Chronostop ST 145.009
One of the reasons we love mid-century watchmaking is the extreme specificity of what was being produced. Need a watch for timing a soccer game? You got it. What about measuring how much film had been used on movie sets? Someone had that covered, too. The Chronostop form Omega falls into that category, and was designed for racing drivers and their crew. Its single pusher which starts and resets the chronograph, removing the time taken to start, stop and reset with two pushers. It's a complication that's perhaps been taken over by the flyback now, but in the 60's it was very useful, and today remains charming and just a very cool execution of a chrono.
The EPSA produced steel case measures in at 35mm, and present sin very nice vintage condition. Shows marks consistent with its age, and retains its sunray finish on the top of the case. Lines are sharp. Case back is stamped 145.010.
The original grey dial is in lovely condition. Some of the tritium markers show degradation, but most are very full. Hands are original and also tritium.
Service history is unknown. Winds smoothly, chrono operates as it should, and its running at about +35 secs per day.
No box or papers. Comes with Watch Vault cleaning cloth and Watch Vault Travel Pod.
