Omega
Geneve Chronostop
Rare Blue Dial / 1968


Intro

This Omega Geneve Chronostop from the 1968 features a stunningly beautiful matte blue dial with orange Omega logo and a matching orange chronograph hand. 

Story

Unlike conventional chronographs that record seconds, minutes, and hours with two or three subdials, the Chronostop was designed to be used for short interval timing -- less than one minute -- with a central hand for seconds and a single pusher.

Omega released the Chronostop in 1966. Originally intended to be part of the Seamaster collection, the Chronostop was transferred to the Geneve collection in 1967 as a lower-priced chronograph watch for younger buyers.

Despite the low price, the Chronostop was a premium model and was well-regarded within the watch industry: the watch won the 1967 Honor Prize for “Chronographs and Sport Watches” in the competition sponsored by the Swiss Watchmaking Federation to boost creativity.
The Chronostop also took the first prize for Industrial Aesthetics at the Utrecht Spring Fair in 1968.
