Lot Essay
The Chronostop line was made by OMEGA between 1966 and 1974. The chronograph function on this Chronostop is meant for timing events that are 60 seconds or less. This is a rare Chronostop variation that includes an internal bezel in a large case. The beautiful dial, interesting complication, and orange seconds hand in a modern-sized case make this an appealing watch for both beginning and advanced collectors.
According to the Archives of OMEGA the present watch was manufactured on October 9, 1968 and delivered to Dubai.
