This 1969 Omega Chronostop Genève, references 145.009 and 145.010, houses the celebrated Calibre 865 which is an evolution of Omega’s Lemania-based manual-wind chronograph movement known for its reliability and smooth operation. The watch features a clean, uncluttered dial with a dedicated central seconds hand for timing events up to 60 seconds, activated by a single pusher at 2 o’clock. The case’s discreet 36 mm diameter brings vintage proportions suited to modern tastes, while its slim profile and polished beveled lugs ensure a timeless elegance. With its tachymeter-marked inner bezel and high-contrast hands, this Chronostop offers both practical functionality and refined style, making it a coveted piece for collectors of historic Omega chronographs.
