Fantastic, well done for finding it. Do you have any history for it (apart from being in a 'barn' for 10 years)?

The sellers bought a deceased watchmakers shop about 10 years ago and they started selling the stuff off this year. They had another CWC they sold before this one and also sold a Omega WWW who know what else they got. This variation of the CWC was made for only 2 years 1980-1981 and 1981 was the last year issued I was told. The broad arrow mark a little different than others so a rarer dial.

Nice. I have B052/81.
Dave what part of the world did yours come from with two I know of coming from Singapore wonder if the whole batch mite of ended up on that part of the world. With that BO case mark I never seen before.
Its not BO but B 063/81 - Ive no idea where I got this from, but most probably from the early years of Ebay. I seem to remember Terry commenting on the B prefix but can't find where he made the comment.
nice catch, has he anything else of interest?
Very nice.
It looks like there is a plastic movement spacer that has embrittled and shrunk, breaking away at pusher and crown location.
I hope you can easily replace that......

Thats very nice. I have a Hamilton chrono that has a gilt dial but with white hands that would suite yours better *wink wink...
Would love one great looking Watch enjoy.

'70's era CWC chrono is on my want list... did they issue one in 74?
that Hamilton is gorgeous as well!
congrats!
Nice watch - those issued chronos have a real touch of class.
those chronos are superb, I just wish I hadn't thrown out my old grey worn NATOS.
A lovely thing. That Hamilton too. Added to the want list for sure.
