Tabletop

At a glance, this is but a simple dress watch - slim hands and a functional day date window. Take it out into the sun and you'll notice the dial is a nice shade of grey, something less commonly seen in the Lord Matic line and very worth your time indeed. The dial captures best in the eye of its beholder and doesn't appear well on camera, so you know that owning it is the only way to appreciate its beauty.

Patina-paradise! Age spots, freckles, dirt and chalk make up a considerable component of this dial.

If you like me have a distaste for the odd case shape of the Omega Chronostop, then perhaps you'll come to like this guy as much as I did. The Chronostop Jumbo is a large c case single minute chronograph that's fun to use and great to look at. This ref. 145.017 Chronostop is unpolished with everything original. The reverse pie pan dial on this guy has matured to a slight sheen, like what you would see on some Speedmaster Ed Whites.
