A Very Stylish Omega Chronostop Drivers Edition with A White Dished Dial in Superb Condition, c.1969

The Omega 145.010, also known as the "Driver" watch, is a unique timepiece that emerged during the late 1960s, a period of robust innovation and experimentation in watchmaking. Initially introduced around 1968, this watch was part of Omega's iconic chronograph lines, featuring the Caliber 865 movement, a mechanism renowned for its precision and reliability.     

What's on Offer

The Omega 'driver' distinctive design catered particularly to professional drivers. The purpose of these watches was for racing drivers to be able to read their times easily at high speeds without having to remove their hands from the steering wheel. This unique take on the 145.010 reference is very collectable and we are delighted to be able to offer this watch in such fine condition. The dished white dial offers a real throwback to the spirited attitude of the 1960s and boasts applied wedge hour markers with luminous pips and chunky pencil hands with luminous inserts. The central seconds hand offers a punch of colour in zesty orange and the dial is completed by the Omega and Chronostop signatures. The brushed steel case is also in nice condition and offers a real presence on the wrist - it is certainly a talking point! The watch is paired with its original Omega mesh bracelet with a folding clasp. We also have a similar reference available with a black dial should you prefer.
