I just had it serviced by Omega and it runs impeccably, with an accuracy of about one second per ten days. Amazing.

I bought it brand new in a different country back in 2005.



Holy moly, Chip! That one ticks all the boxes, auto, date, and iconic design. Plus your photography would make dog poop look great.

Thank you guys!

I actually listed it for sale a couple of months ago because I hardly ever wear it but I had a change of heart and pulled it.

Since this is the watch I've owned the longest, it gets about the least wrist time even though 100% of people that comment on it say it's one of the prettiest chronos ever.

What's not to like? 42.5mm size, 150WR, amazingly accurate movement (Omega 3301) and a dial that looks like it's made of automotive oil.

I doubt I wore it 5 times since it had the full factory service so it will probably end up on the sale corner at some point again.

Here is a fresh one... I need to change the date.
