FS: Unpolished OMEGA CHRONOSTOP DRIVER 145.010

Hi all,

I would like to sell my OMEGA CHRONOSTOP 145.010 "DRIVER" in unpolished condition.
This watch is special as it was aimed to be worn under the wrist, its 90°C turned dial enabling to read time while driving a car.
For more info about it, I wrote some lines here: http://vintagewatchworld.jimdo.com/articles/omega-chronostop-driver/

Case (35mm) & crown:
Not "NOS" as it shows some minimal traces of wear but unpolished and in excellent condition, with all angles razor sharp and still with original sunburst finish.
Original omega signed crown and original omega signed glass too ;).

Dial & hands:
Fully original and MINT so called "Driver" dial, without any blemish or marks.
All tritium plots are fully intact and have turned into a very pleasant creamy patina.

Movement:
The 17 jewels Omega caliber 865 is in fully working condition, with chrono hand starting and resetting as it should.
However, service history is unknown.
Please note that the caliber 865 is based on the renowned caliber 861 which was powering Speedmaster after 1968.

Price:
650€ - shipping to be discussed
I am selling in with the brand new marine blue racing strap visible on the tagged pic (not with the old black strap...^^)

It is definitively a very pleasant watch to wear and a complete and still affordable Omega line to collect, with Seamaster line being a bit bigger (but a bit more expensive too).

Please, feel free to contact me for any question you may have.

Thank you for reading!

Nicolas
