Omega Chronostop Ref. 146.009 – Grey Dial – 1969 Manual Wind Chronograph

Designed with bold functionality and 1960s flair, the Omega Chronostop Ref. 146.009 is a vintage chronograph that’s anything but ordinary. Produced in 1969, this piece was part of Omega’s innovative push to appeal to a younger, more design-conscious audience — offering a simplified chronograph format housed in a clean, wearable case.

The watch features a 35mm stainless steel case with its original Omega crown, giving it a compact, yet sporty profile. The star of the show is the grey dial, which contrasts beautifully with the vibrant orange chronograph seconds hand, delivering an instantly recognisable and eye-catching aesthetic. The dial retains its original tritium lume, subtly aged to a warm tone.

Under the hood is Omega’s Calibre 920 manual-wind chronograph movement, known for its precision and charm. The single-pusher layout simplifies the timing function while keeping the design clean — a perfect entry point into vintage chronographs.

Fitted to an original Omega Milanese bracelet, the watch wears with both comfort and sophistication, blending vintage cool with contemporary minimalism.
