Re: FS: Omega Chronostop Driver, Ref. 145.010 Cal. 865 White

: Many who like vintage watches are often looking for that unique
: piece that’s both seldom seen in the wild and interesting or
: unconventional in its own right. Right along with the ethos of
: watchmaking as the 60s turned to the 70s, Omega developed the
: unique Chronostop and its many variations, with the Driver you
: see here being one of them. Designed to be worn under the wrist,
: the watch aimed to provide a unique experience to the wearer
: with a 90 degree rotated dial for readability at a glance with
: the wearer’s hands on the wheel. The stopwatch type movement,
: rather than a traditional chronograph, made timing short
: intervals a breeze. The pusher is depressed to start the
: chronograph, and pressed (and held) to stop the chronograph and
: read the time. Upon the pusher’s release, the seconds hand
: will reset to zero.
: Although the Chronostop was produced for a number of years
: throughout its many variations, the Driver models can be harder
: to come across with the white dial variant being one of the most
: rare, which is why we’re proud to offer this one.

: Case: 35mm stainless steel case in excellent condition with
: only minor wear throughout as shown. The original radial
: brushing/sunburst pattern on the case top is still present and
: crisp as are the case lines.

: Dial/Hands:Original dial and handset in mint condition. The
: rare white dial has a racing style printed minute and second
: track. Hands are original black with patinated tritium. The
: chronograph seconds hand is orange, matching the printed Omega
: logo. There is minor discoloration near the 6 o'clock marker
: visible in the photos.

: Caseback: Solid caseback in good condition as shown with
: “waterproof” markings still visible on the edges.

: Crystal: Acrylic crystal in good condition with minor
: surface wear as shown in the photos.

: Movement: Original Caliber 865 hand wound 60 second
: chronograph movement in excellent condition with the watch
: keeping good time and all functions working as they should.

: Bracelet/Strap: New unworn light brown rally style strap.

: Accessories: None. Sold as watch only.

: Price is $950 shipped CONUS via PayPal or wire (3% discount for
: wire). US sale preferred, international sales will pay the cost
: of shipping. Face to face in the Boston area also welcome. I
: have plenty of references available. Please feel free to ask any
: questions. Thanks for looking!

Hey there,

Is this still for sale? I'm in Toronto, Canada.

Cheers,
Sasha
