Omega

Greeting to you reader! Here is a review of my Omega Seamaster Chronostop ref 145.007. Small step backwards ... The range Chronostop dates from the end of the sixties. It represents sport watches with a capacity to time short time by a stopwatch "mono-pou...  

. . . is a rewarding experience that I've been thru myself a few times, Caius. My compliments on your strap selection, which perfectly matches the watch . . . most tasteful. Cordially, Art

Hi Caius First great post and photos !!! The Chronostops was a very popular model for Omega and the most important part was they were USED !! Your comment "....but most are in bad condition!" is in line which what I have observed over the years. I have se... 

Informative, nice text , cool pics and a lovely Vintage Omega SM! It now looks like a NOS! Congrats, too, for the strap! It complements very well the watch, by its stlye and this small touch of Orange. Best, Caius! Nicolas

I am happy to hear that the slightly battered condition of my Chronostop appears to be the norm, rather than the exception. It's a great treat to wear it inside the wrist and glance at it sideways - can anyone tell me where the sideways configuration came...  

This sideway configuration it's for simplify reading when you drive a car. Beautiful watch, exotic one in top condition.

Here it is. Wow the movement is very nice - I hadn't remembered getting this picture from my watchmaker. I can see now the differences with yours being the "sea diving" model and mine being the "land driving" version. And this has the 920 movement, from t...  

Yes, I think the caliber 920 came after the 865 but I'm not sure!

otherwise basically the same movement brgds--JP

designed for wearing on the underside of the wrist as i'm sure you are aware. my Dad would love it as that how he wears all his watches. i'd leave it exactly as it is as it looks good to me. best Graham

although the chrono function is very simple it is still a great watch. no one here has mentioned it, but it was released for the 1968 Mexico Olympics so should have a place in history along with all the other olympic watches. i love the strap as well. bes... 

Dear Caius Congratulations on your catch, and a great watch has come out of your effort on changing it back to NOS condition. Great work. I also really like the strap. You have been more "lucky" than me on the service and getting parts. I have a Seamaster... 

Your watch looks absolutely fantastic after been polished and cleaned. I have just bought the same watch and would like to do the same thing to mine... please can you advise where you had the work done and how much it cost Many tks

Hello, First of all, congratulations for the nice work of the watch! I have the same equal watch. It was from my father. I restaured mine, but i cant find a bracelet from the time. Can you help me? Where can i bougth one? How much is it? Best Regards, Joa... 

Hi Caius, I just bought an Omega 145.007 like yours. It is in a bad condition so I like to fresh it up a little bit. From ofrei I ordered dial, pusher and crown. What I like to ask you is where do you got this great strap from? Can you tell me name of the... 

You mind messaging me who the maker of the strap is? Many thanks
