Omega Seamaster Chronostop 145.008

This watch is in excellent condition for its age. The case, plexiglass and caseback have some light scratches. There is a gentle patina to the dial and hands.

This watch is not guaranteed for water resistance.

Omega's Chronostop is a simplified version of its more complex and sporty professional chronographs. Unusually, it features only one pusher, which when pressed activates the chronograph seconds. To stop it, the user presses and holds the pusher down, and releases it to reset. It goes without saying that this only allows you to measure intervals of no more than 60 seconds, but is still a fascinating and rather unusual complication nonetheless.

OMEGA

Omega is in the unique position of being perhaps the most versatile out of all the watchmakers currently still in operation. Its product lineup includes dive watches, automatic and manual chronographs, as well haute joaillerie works of art. The brand has even demonstrated its high-end watchmaking capabilities by creating complications such as the tourbillon.

Omega's story goes further than just its watches, however. The brand has had a long and rich history of being called upon in times of need, and has sold watches to everyone from the British Royal Flying Corps during the First World War to NASA during the Space Race. More recently, Omega has been known as the exclusive supplier of watches to James Bond.
