Here's a stunning vintage Omega Chronostop Genève watch. This is a basic chronograph watch for quick, simple timing, and they exists in many painted dial colour tones. This is the uncommon grey "driver dial" version, where you wear it on the underside of your wrist for easy timing while driving/racing. The factory original finish dial is in excellent condition. Original set of index hands with a unique original orange center second. It is a one-minute timing watch. The chronograph works by pressing the pusher at the top, allowing the orange second hand to start, and once pressed again, it will let the second hand fly back to zero position—original signed crown. Excellent condition, original signed acrylic crystal and new case gasket. The case is made of solid stainless steel and measures 35mm in diameter by 39.2mm from lug tip to lug tip. The case model is 145.010. The manual wind chronograph movement has been professionally serviced and running accurately. The movement calibre is 865 with serial number 26562330, dating this watch to 1968. The watch will come with a nice matching 18mm racing leather strap. The wrist size in the photo is 6 inches.
