Omega De ville 145.017 Panda

Admittedly, this is one of the coolest vintage chronographs that I ever had in my hands.

The reference 145.018 is one of those odd rare ones that not often get seen in the flesh. One might like to compare it even to a pre Daytona thanks to the layout of the dial and size of the case.

But what makes this specific one so special? Well. Look at it. It does not only have a panda dial but also a leopard patina. This watch is a total zoo on its own. And a proper rare one.
