Soccer fans watch out! The Omega Seamaster Soccer Timer was developed for the world cup 1970 in Mexico for the referees to measure the 45 minutes of a half-time. It's an ultimate collector's item. Omega produced three different references: 145.016, 145.019 and 145.020, whereby 145.019 with the rotating "roulette" bezel is undoubtedly most desirable. The color of the dial is either gray or white for all three references.
The Soccer Timer owes its unique, fantastic design to some fine design elements. The chronograph sub-dials at 3 and 6 o'clock are black and red. The "45" below the minute counter indicates the half-time of a football match. The rotating "roulette" bezel has white base color. The adjacent 12 and 24 hour markers are separated by a red border and have a blue and black background. The subdial at 9 o'clock has a red inner ring and features the small second. The Omega symbol still exists on the acrylic glass, which underlines the originality of that Soccer. The original, faded chrono hand reflects the aging process of this cool piece in a special way. If you take a closer look at it, you can see its original, orange color, which has become creamy white over the years. The case has natural signs of wear and is unpolished. The main crown and the crown for the rotating bezel are signed with the Omega logo. The upper chrono pusher has a small dent, the lower one is immaculate. The lume dots in the black outer ring are all original and still light up. The vivid dial has a beautiful, evenly distributed patina.
The Soccer Timer has the original hand-wound chronograph calibre 861, which is also the heart of the famous Moonwatch Speedmaster. The movement is in mint condition and runs very accurately. The chronograph also works flawlessly. The watch offered here has an honest and original condition. The characteristics of the Seamaster Soccer Timer turn it into a sought after and a very collectable watch.
