HEAVY DUTY~1968 SEAMASTER CHRONOSTOP WITH 24/12 HOUR BEZEL

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY IS A SEXY 1968 SEAMASTER CHRONOSTOP 145.008 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH RARE 24/12 ROTATING INNER BEZEL RUNNING ON A BULLETPROOF LEMANIA 865. THIS BEAUTY IS SIGNED 6X  

• CASE: ROBUST AND HEAVY C-SHAPED CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  IT MEASURES A LARGE 41.5mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWNS BY 48mm LUG TO LUG.  THIS THING IS A TOTAL BEAST ON THE WRIST. ALL THE ORIGINAL CHAMFERS AND FACETS ON THIS BEAUTIFUL 120M CASE ARE INTACT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CASE TOP MAY HAVE BEEN LIGHTLY BUFFED AT SOME TIME BUT STILL MAINTAINS EVIDENCE OF ITS ORIGINAL BRUSHING. THERE IS A SMALL NUMERAL INSCRIPTION ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE RIGHT LUG WHICH I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I STARTED TAKING PICS. OVERALL THIS CASE REALLY LOOKS PHENOMENAL AND HAS SUCH GREAT LINES ON IT.

• DIAL: SUCH A MULTI-LAYERED WORK OF ART. THE CENTRAL MAIN PORTION OF THE DIAL HAS A SUNKEN PIE PAN MATTE BLACK FINISH WITH APPLIED STEEL MARKERS. SURROUNDING THAT, WHICH SITS SLIGHTLY BELOW, IS A RALLYE CHECKERED MINUTE TRACK. THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THESE TWO SECTIONS CREATES AN AWESOME DEPTH AND DIMENSION TO THIS DIAL. THE SLOPING INNER ROTATING BEZEL RING IS SUPER AWESOME AND HAS THE MORE RARE 24/12 HOUR TRACKING SCALE. BEZEL ROTATES VIA THE TOP LEFT SIGNED CROWN WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION. BLACK/WHITE HANDS ARE IN REALLY CLEAN SHAPE. THAT CHRONO HAND AND OMEGA LOGO AT 12, BOTH IN TANGERINE, ADD A NICE POP OF COLOR. ALL THIS VIEWED UNDER THE ORIGINAL OMEGA SIGNED BOX-TOP ACRYLIC CRYSTAL.

• MOVEMENT: THIS CHRONOSTOP IS POWERED BY A LEMANIA 865 TICKING UNDER THE HOOD.  ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING TIME.  SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT ALL FUNCTIONS WORK FLAWLESSLY AND WATCH IS KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME.
