Just snagged this beautiful Omega Chronostop with dark brown tropical dial on the Bay of E.
Reference 145.010, the so-called Driver version. The dial is rotated 90 degrees so that the watch sits on the inside of the wrist and is easy to read whilst at the wheel; a throwback to pilot/flyger watches perhaps?
Most of this is from the advert
"The watch is in good condition. The 865 movement runs accurately and the chronostop function starts and resets smoothly. The 865 movement has serial number 26577740 which dates it to 1968
The glass is the original one from 1968 with the Omega sign in the centre. The dial is a very nice tropical one which colored brown with a very small spot at half past 5. The hands are possibly replacements."
I remember this angled dial being launched back in the day and, in my early teens, imagining how cool it must be to wear such a watch and driving a sports car.
The watch is better than the listing described and I think that I'm a happy bunny.
