·FS my quite rare omega chronostop.
Here is a brief description from www.old-omegas.com/chronostop.html
"Omega Chronostop Geneva Date, special "Italy" version, 1970: (Museum number 2404)
Simplified chronograph, also called "Stop-second watch", 1/5-second display. 920 date calibre, start push-button at 2 o'clock, stop (press during display of time) and return-to-zero (release) of central chronograph hand, silvered dial, outside line minute scale, raised hour markers with black fillet, luminous stick hands, round steel case water resistant to 30 metres, "Unicoc" system with wide bevelled bezel, with same bracelet fixing (here integrated) as the Dynamic.
Model manufactured by Fontana exclusively for the Italian general agent De Marchi."
The project of this watch should date to 1967, with Raymond Thévenaz for the technical aspects and Fernando Fontana for the design. The case design is quite unusual, the movement comes out from the front, something like a monobloc case.
This is, as far as I know, the largest chronostop ever made, with a 42 mm.
The watch I'm offering has rested in a drawer for many years, according to the previous owner, and appears in very good estethical and mechanical conditions. This is the antracite dial version with applied markers, probably the best balanced one. The crown at four is marked. In my opinion it's possible the case, bracelet and particularly clasp had been polished in the past.
Contact me for more infos or pics (sorry for the last one but at the moment I do not have other pics of the back)
My request is 700$ paypal included
