Here is an awesome, all original Omega Genève Chronostop “UFO” from 1969. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a script Omega logo and barely any marks. It has faceted steel block hour markers with black contrast and lume dots at the outer ends. The black baton hour and minute hands are in very fine condition, with the original lume intact. The black framed window at 3 o’clock displays the date, which can be quick-set by first turning the hands through midnight so the date changes, then immediately turning the hands backwards to 22:00 and then forward through midnight again. Repeat as necessary.

The very wide stainless steel case with the original crown and pusher is in fine condition, with a sunburst bezel and polished sides. It shows some overall wear, perhaps most noticeable a few marks around the pusher and a dent at 10 o’clock on the bezel. The stainless steel case back has a plain brushed center and a sunburst rim, showing some overall wear. It carries the somewhat faded inscriptions “Tool 107” and “Waterproof”. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The original Omega bracelet is in very fine visual condition, with a brushed finish and light overall wear, including on the double fold clasp. It shows some stretching and is big enough for large wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult. The bracelet can be shortened by up to about 2cm simply by moving a spring bar in the clasp.

Inside the watch, Omega’s 920 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in October 2026 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

This “Italian model” Chronostop makes a bold statement on the wrist with its large size and great condition. This is a watch that will makes its new owner very happy and it will grow nicely in value over the next decades.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
