Featuring the caliber 865, a simplified hand-wound chronograph movement, the Chronostop is a 60 seconds stopwatch only. The single pusher works the start-stop-reset function. You activate with one press, then press again to stop and hold to read the seconds hand. Releasing the pusher will reset to zero. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday’s example is the “jumbo” 41mm variant, a comfortable wrist presence on most any wrist due to its tonneau contouring.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhile some of the smaller Chronostops featured colourful dials, the larger cased models instead went for a more traditional black and white aesthetic. We really enjoy the symmetry on display here, with a white minute chapter ring nestled between the black dial and outer tachymetre scale, and featuring black\/white hands and an orange chronograph seconds to tie everything together nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eWe've paired this one with an elegant grained calf Molequin strap in black with white stitching in keeping with the dual colour theme.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e145.007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManual Wind, Omega Calibre 865, 17 jewels\u003cbr\u003eWe have fully serviced the movement, and it works eagerly, keeping good time.
