Omega Seamaster Chronostop 145.008

The Omega Seamaster Chronostop Ref. 145.008 represents a unique chapter in Omega’s history. Its minimalist chronograph, combined with a diver’s watch aesthetic, makes it an unusual yet highly functional timepiece. It’s part of a movement in the late ’60s and early ’70s where Omega experimented with different styles and practical designs, culminating in a watch that is both visually distinct and mechanically reliable. The 145.008 is highly sought after among vintage Omega collectors, thanks to its unique combination of diver and chronograph features, as well as the fact that it belongs to the legendary Seamaster family. This Omega Seamaster Chronostop Ref. 145.008 makes no excuses for being different. Iconic and screaming 70’s! Powered by the legendary 865 Caliber manual wind movement this version of the Chronostop f eatures an internal rotating bezel powered which even to this day some 50 years later is hard to find in a watch. 41mm x 47mm steel cushion case that gives it that 70’s look despite this one being produced around 1968. Original black dial and white hands. There is clear discolouration giving a patina however like most vintage pieces we stock has been left as original as it can be after a through clean. Fitted to a steel Omega bracelet with folding clasp that would fit a wrist to 7.75 inches, the bracelet although Omega signed it is a later bracelet added at some point. Recent full service shows this watch running at +/- 2 seconds per day with an amplitude of 226. Guaranteed for peace of mind for a further 12 months. Our view – An excellent example of this iconic watch, yes it shows wear and tear and has clearly been well loved and used over the last 50 years. Exceptional working order and a worthy addition to any collection or a first time manual wind Omega.
