It utilizes a 60-second chronograph mechanism operated by a single pusher, ideal for timing laps or quarter-mile times while keeping both hands on the steering wheel. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGo ahead, try it! We did!

While there are dozens of cool watch designs out there, arguably, it's the more exciting designs that leave us scratching our head, wishing to get a look into the mind of the designer, and understand the conception of these awesome pieces that bring us so much joy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is complete with an Omega signed stainless steel pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've offered a number of Chronostops in the past, but only a very small number of them have featured the driver-oriented dial.
