1960's Omega Chronostop as a daily?

[Tickle]

Hi,

The missus has decided to treat me to a new watch.

Got around a £1000 to play with give or take.

Anyway I have been looking around and I really like the look of the 60's Chronostop Driver or Chronostop Seamaster.

All I am wondering is, are there any issues with these watches, like parts no longer being available? Or are they prone to just stopping working?

I am aware that it will require a proper service from time to time which is no issue.

Cheers for any info

It should be OK, but bear in mind it's 50 years old.

A lot depends what you do for a living. If you drive a desk, it'll probably be OK.

Im struggling to find any real questions to answer. I have worn a Chronostop daily for about a year. This was a Cal.920 (date) type and it seems to have survived, although they are relatively sensitive.

Cheers for the replies.

Im thinking after a few years or already some of these watches will be a 'triggers broom' type situation. From what research ive done any parts are available.

My occupation is mainly office based these days so just a bit of desk diving for the watch. My current watch has lasted over 15 years and still going strong and it is nothing special.

Think I'm persuaded, just need to find the right one now.
