WatchCrazy's decision to acquire the Omega Chronoscope, initially met with hesitation, highlights a common dilemma for collectors when considering a substantial new piece. His personal experience with the watch's weight and presence provides a valuable first-hand account, inviting the community to share their perspectives on this distinctive Omega reference. This article explores the unique appeal and historical context of the Omega Chronoscope, drawing insights from fellow enthusiasts.

Hello all, I acquired this Omega Chronoscope a month ago. At that time, I wasn't sure whether to purchase it or not. It took me 1 week to decide to buy it. Am glad that I did. Good or bad, the watch is quite heavy due to the size and thickness of the case.

. . . of recent times. Can't recollect if anyone in our forum owned one; I don't believe Nilo did, and he collected current production exclusively. Here's an equally uncommon steel Chronoscope . . .

Another reference I’ve never seen until seeing your beautiful example! What is the function of the numerals in the window near the top of the dial? Here is my much simpler Chronoscope.

I think it should be used for more important timing events, like how long you ponder whether to sign a contact for a new home, or how many minutes you delay when purchasing a large block of stocks in a crazy market, or the countdown to responding to a job offer... (or wedding proposal) It's a device that significant and beautiful. Cheers, Cazalea

It really looks special and a serious hunk of gold too plus the case back is nice and different as well. Marc
