From red lights to lap times, the Chronostop Driver was designed to keep its wearer moving...without lifting a hand off the wheel. At first glance, this may look like your typical Omega Chronostop, but the Ref. 145.010 tells a much more intentional story. Released in 1968 as part of Omega’s Olympic timing era, this model was aimed squarely at the modern driver reorienting the dial by 90 degrees to allow time to be read without twisting the wrist, a functional quirk targeting those who lived behind the wheel. In an era that celebrated design-meets-purpose, the Chronostop Driver was both form and function incarnate. Unlike traditional chronographs, the Chronostop line featured a single minute stopwatch. Impractical it may seem, but truly perfect for quick intervals, like lap times or timed sprints. Inside, the manual wind Caliber 865 keeps a complicated looking watch both honest and tactile, but also incredibly satisfying to operate.  This particular example comes correct with a razor sharp unpolished case, original Omega signed rally strap, and a signed Omega mesh bracelet that remains in superb condition. Furthering this remarkable example is its inner box which kept this beauty tucked away...call it a barn find. Ultimately the Chronostop "Driver" isn’t just about motorsport nostalgia, it’s a tangible and real link to a time when less was more, and speed came with style.
