The clean grey sector dial (rotated a quarter of an hour clockwise to allow for easy reading while gripping a steering wheel) features applied baton indices, luminous baton hands, a red chronograph second counter and an alternating racing style minute track
The stainless steel case remains in good condition with general signs of wear. The winding crown is positioned at 1 o’clock and the single button start, stop and reset chronograph pusher is at 11
Alongside the rare driver’s dial, the original Milanese mesh bracelet makes this a very special piece. It’s fastened securely by the original Omega adjustable setting deployant/folding clasp
The Omega caliber 865 manual wind movement runs smoothly and keeps good time. The watch was previously owned by a watch maker and has been taken good care of
