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 excellent 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.
