FSOT: Omega Chronostop (rare) Driver version

Omega Chronostop 'Driver' 145.010 - Genéve - Driver - 865 movement

If you're not familiar with these particular watches then here's a little pre amble before the advert!

What is a Omega Chronostop watch ?

These are watches with a SINGLE pusher to operate a stop watch function. Press the pusher once to start the stopwatch hand. Press it again (& KEEP it pressed) to stop the stopwatch hand (& read the time) & release the pusher to reset the hand to zero.

What is the 'Driver' version

It's the rarer version and was designed to be worn "under" the wrist, instead of in the normal position "above" the wrist. The thinking was that whilst driving ( with your hands in the 14:45 position ), you could read the time, without removing your hands from the steering wheel.

Of course it can also be worn in the normal position.

This one is a lovely example with a dark green face.

Case is in lovely condition as is the acrylic.

The original graining is still nice.

Hands and markers are in good condition with aged wear only.

No major marks apart from some minor ones on case back when previously opened.

Signed 865 movement, no rust, nice and clean.

Keeping excellent time and chronostop functioning as it should.

Original pusher and signed crown

Comes on a tyre tread style strap to continue the 'Driver' theme.

Presented in a nice green and beige box and green outer box.

Any questions please just ask.

£475 - will possibly consider a trade against it although ideally looking for cash.

Many thanks
