Omega Chronometer - No pushers - How would it work?
Discussion
Hi Guys,
In Goldsmith's in Reading they have a very nice looking black dialed Omega Chronometer watch with two subdials no pushers. I didn't take any pictures and can't find any online at the moment. I'm just curious as to how you'd actually use the chronograph?
I know it is a perfect excuse to go in and try on but A/ I'm not about in Reading during the day for a while now and B/ I can't afford to try it on and like it lol.
Has anyone seen something like this before?

You use the word Chronometer, not Chronograph, the two being different things. Is it possible that you were looking at the Omega Deville Power Reserve? In which case, the two subdials are seconds and power reserve, there is no chronograph and, thus, no need for pushers:

The power reserve tells you the state of wind on the mainspring.
If it was a chronograph- many vintage chrono's were single push-piece only, and thus often had a pusher sitting on top of the crown, which would often be so smart as to look like it was integral, like this:

It can be! More accurate to say that being a chronograph does not make it a chronometer.
And vice versa.When talking about watches, a chronograph is an additional function, basically a stopwatch; a chronometer is performance - it usually means a watch that meets COSC standards of accuracy.
I'm going to have a butchers on Saturday and take a sly photo and get some more information.
It was definitely a plain looking watch with a subdial for seconds on the left and the bottom subdial for what I assumed was lapsed time. You're right though it could have been a power reserve.

It is an Omega DeVille - I was in there last weekend looking at a Rolex GMT they had (which I ended up buying It was definitely a plain looking watch with a subdial for seconds on the left and the bottom subdial for what I assumed was lapsed time.

). It was a very tough decision between the Rolex and Omega as that Omega really is beautiful and a bargain . The bottom dial is indeed the power reserve indicator. If I could, I would have bought both!foreright said:

That solves that then. I saw it and thought very nice and only a few days later did it dawn on me how would you actually get the chronograph to work. ).
