Omega "Speedmaster Professional Mark II", Movement No. 35580147, Ref. 145.014, Cal. 861, 42 x 45 mm, circa 1973
A muscular vintage chronograph
Case: steel, srew back, "Omega" steel bracelet and deployant clasp. Dial: black.
After the Omega Speedmaster Professional had won the race to the moon in 1969, Omega set out to create a watch that conformed a little more to the taste of the 1970s. In 1969 Omega introduced the first Speedmaster Professional Mark II, where "Mark" as part of the name signaled a new or updated version - today’s version "2.0"… The Speedmaster Mark II featured the same Lemania-based calibre as the Moonwatch - reference 145.022. This movement was fitted with Omega calibre 861 and production ran from 1968 to circa 1996, to be followed by calibre 1861. The Speedmaster Mark II had a tonneau-shaped case which was completely different to the asymmetrical design of the Speedmaster Professional.
