Omega Chronostop Genève / Ref. 145.009 - Cal. 865 / Vintage 1960s Timepiece / Serviced

The Omega Chronostop Genève is a quintessential example of late-1960s Swiss watchmaking innovation, with its unique mono-pusher chronograph functionality. This model, reference 145.009, is a standout due to its compact yet bold design, characterized by a cushion/oval 35mm case and an eye-catching orange central chronostop seconds hand. While typically known for having a no-date configuration, this particular watch features a date window at 3 o’clock, suggesting either a dial swap or a unique transitional configuration that collectors may find intriguing. Powered by the dedicated Calibre 865 movement, it promises a smooth operation with a 21,600 vph and a 40-hour power reserve, delivering both functionality and style. The original dark grey dial with tritium-era lume plots and period-correct acrylic crystal further underscores its vintage charm. This piece has been serviced recently, ensuring that the complex mono-pusher mechanism operates with precision and reliability.
