Condition

Characterised by its distinctive features and a movement, this incredible Omega Geneve Chronostop from the late 1960s is a fantastic addition to your watch collection. This piece features a matte black dial, which, interestingly, is designed to include a chamfered edge with raised wedge-shaped baton indexes and alternating racing pattern markers. All those features together with the stainless steel cushion shaped case and brushed bezel make this watch truly stand out as you move it around on your wrist.

The manual wind, Calibre 865 movement, known for its precision, allows the bright red centre seconds' hand to function as a timer for up to 1 minute, which is activated by the pusher at the top right of the watch. The movement is in fantastic condition both cosmetically and mechanically, the watch is keeping excellent time, well within specification.

Dial - The dial is in brilliant condition, with the hands and baton markers a bit aged, but, still, bright and sparkly for any vintage watch, let alone a watch from the 1960s!

Case - The case is in nice condition, showing some scratches and dings as you would expect of a watch of this age. 

Crown - The original, Omega signed crown is in perfect working order. 

Movement - This piece is powered by its original Omega 865 Manual wind movement which is in perfect working order. The watch is keeping time, well within vintage specification. 

Case back - The case back is original and is in great condition with common signs of wear. There is an inscription which was not professionally done at the time, but still gives its message and provides the watch with some unique history.

Strap - We have fitted this watch with a brand new leather strap which suits the watch perfectly.

Crystal - Showing some marks which are only visible on close inspection.

For a watch of this age, this piece is in spectacular order and is ready to wear!
