Back to overview In 1966, the story of the Chronostop began to unfold. Omega debuted their innovative stripped chronograph, featuring a singular 60-second central chronograph hand in vibrant orange, without any additional sub-dials. This unique design hallmark meant that the Chronostop was tailor-made for timing very brief intervals—perfect for durations of up to 60 seconds, or alternatively, for manually tallying laps. The "Driver," was envisioned as the quintessential car-watch. Omega ingeniously proposed rotating the entire dial by 90 degrees and encouraged wearers to don it underneath their wrists. This strategic positioning ensured that while gripping the steering wheel, drivers could effortlessly glance at their wrist and obtain a clear view of the time.
