Our example wears the sporting upright layout: dark slate dial, applied batons, outer 1\/5-second track, date at three, and a sharp orange central chronograph hand. The dial shows a clean mirror-like finish with \u003cstrong\u003eno aging\u003c\/strong\u003e — unusual and welcome for a tritium-era Chronostop.

Chronostop launched in \u003cstrong\u003e1966\u003c\/strong\u003e, moved into Genève in \u003cstrong\u003e1967\u003c\/strong\u003e, and strips the chronograph to one pusher and one central seconds hand. It won period design prizes and sits in Omega’s sports-timing story of the era, including use as an official Omega timer around the Pan-American Games and the \u003cstrong\u003e1968 Mexico Olympic Games\u003c\/strong\u003e (separate from Omega’s electronic Olympic systems that year).
