If there is one thing that is true about Omega it's that they have produced a deep catalog of remarkably interesting and unique watches throughout their history. Now, when you're that illustrious it's just a guarantee that some pieces, even some really fantastic ones, are going to slip through the cracks. Enter the Chronostop, a funky design featuring a 60-second timer and an inner rotating timing-scale bezel.

SPECS

CASE & BRACELET

The handsome and robust tonneau style case retains crisp edges and factory finishing, with honest signs of previous use present. There is some oxidation on the top right lug though it is very subtle in natural light. The crown that operated the hands at 4 o'clock and the crown the operates the bezel at 11 o'clock are both original to the watch, as is the single pusher button at 2 o'clock. The case back retains its factory engravings in very crisp condition. The Omega 1170 bracelet with 625 end pieces retains 22 links that show light stretch and will fit up to a 7 3/4-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original dial perfectly encapsulated the sporty, yet refined aesthetic with the utilization of different designs and textures. The dish-shaped inner matte black dial is flawless, showing no damage and the lume plots all remain in perfection condition when inspected under UV light with a charming creamy yellow patina. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly with no degradation under UV light inspection. The roulette style minute track and inner rotating timing scale are in perfect condition as well.

ACCESSORIES

None. The watch is keeping time perfectly, previous service history is unknown.
