At 4.5 mm, the electronic calibre 1620 (also known as "Faucon" or falcon) dating from 1977 is one of the flattest LCD movements of this type and also the first chronograph with digital display to simultaneously display the time and offer full chronograph functionality with 1/100 second chronograph able to accumulate up to 24 hours as well as lap and split/stop times.
Omega produced a total of eight versions of the Speedmaster quartz watches with different case shapes, alloying and bracelets. The production was discontinued after only 18 months.
