One of these days i was at my grandparents house and i came across a cardboard box in wish, along with some low quality quartz pieces, there was a rough treated, but lovely Chronostop. I didn't know much about watches at the time, but i really loved the watch. I did some research and months later, with a powerfull ally (my grandmother) we secretly stole the watch. I had the watch serviced (the chrono function wasn't working so well) and found an add for a Timex that was coupled with a Omega mesh bracelet, i immediatly bought it. The watch really became together with the mesh bracelet and the super classy burgundy dial. At the time i got the watch serviced and in a pretty box, i gifted the watch back to my grandfather and he loved it. Saddly, 3 months later my grandfather passed away. My grandmother recently gifted me the watch and i can't stop wearing it for all the good reasons and memories 🙂

My father recently gifted me his chronostop that he purchased in Zurich in 1968. It's in good condition but I am going to have it serviced since it has not been worn in probably 45 years. I really appreciate the information you have presented here. I will put it on a grey leather strap too, it looks amazing.

I own the white dial date version and absolutely love it. (Was my grandfathers) had it restored recently.

Great video, love the melody very fitting for such beautiful watch. Thank you.

I recently discovered the Chronostop and really like the piece...missed out on a fairly good deal but will try to buy one soon, great design! Thanks for the video..

Great video and a great watch!!! I was very lucky and i found a NOS Chronostop from an old jewlwry store last winter!

Great vidéo. I'm actually looking for one. If i may, the "driver" with reference num. 145.010 uses a cal. 865, not a 920. That's the "driver" reference 146.010 (with a date, wich the "6" stand for in the référence number) wich uses a cal. 920.

Great video! Loved learning about this watch. One suggestion (this is the first video I watch of yours) to add very light background music throughout the video! Very faintly in the background. Nonetheless I learned a lot!

That was rather informative, thank you. Such an appealing design. Sporty and elegant all at once. I'm also quite interested in the Omega Dynamic. Have you considered profiling one of those? I'd like to hear your detailed assessment. Cheers

I got mine with a fresh service from the 13. 7.2022 for 760€ 👍🏼 love it

This was the first decent watch I bought myself way back in 1975, when an 865 on a leather strap (with deployant) sold for £69. All these years later, I'm looking for another one...on the Mesh Bracelet this time :)

I recently find one at my old uncle house... still works

There is one more item common on all Chronostops, the bracelet whether steel or leather ALL had a long stainless steel deployant clasp and not a buckle. I know because I have one.

Hey I have the 145.010 Driver ,its an amazing watch and actually very convenient while driving . Would you know the approx value of this piece today?

Really coooooool watch 👍

I love this piece! I have one myself, the same model you present along with the original mesh band. I am considering selling it to upgrade to a vintage American timepiece, so if there are any suitors for an exquisite example of this timepiece with the original band, hmu!

What kind of doctor or engineer use mechanical watch in his profession? Maybe a hipster one.

Amazing NOS condition for the watch in the video! But shame on you for plagiarising Dan Henry's three year old article on the Chronostop word for word!..try to come up with some of your own words and research next time!?
