The 1966 release of the Omega Genève Chronostop reference 146.009 is renowned for its innovative monopusher chronograph, which can measure brief intervals of up to 60 seconds. In 1967, it changed its name from the Seamaster collection to the Genève line in an effort to appeal to a younger audience. It became well-liked by drivers and sports fans due to its usefulness and elegant appearance.
The manual-winding Omega Caliber 920, which runs at 21,600 beats per hour with a 48-hour power reserve, powers this watch. A date display at three o'clock adds utility, and the outer-minute track gives it a sports feel.
The Chronostop 146.009 is a classic collector's item that is valued for its historical relevance, distinctive design, and accurate chronographing capabilities.
