Here's a stunning vintage Omega Chronostop Genève watch. This is a basic chronograph watch for quick, simple timing, and they exist in many painted dial colour tones. The purple dial variation is among the rarer versions. This factory original finish painted purple 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, and 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 34.7mm in diameter by 39mm from lug tip to lug tip. The case model is 145.009. The manual wind chronograph movement has been professionally serviced and running accurately. The movement calibre is 865 with serial number 28095402, dating this watch to 1969. The watch will come with a nice matching 18mm mesh metal bracelet (not original). The wrist size in the photo is 6 inches. The bracelet, including the watch, will nicely fit a wrist size between 7 to 7.75 inches.
