Lot Essay

According to the Archives of Omega, the present watch was delivered to Switzerland on 25 April 1968

This particular example of reference 145012 impresses the connoisseur with two unusual traits which render it highly appealing for the collector of rare Omega timepieces. It is the “SP” variation of the reference, where SP stands for “Special Poussoir”, special pusher, denoting the presence of modified chronograph buttons with increased water resistance. Furthermore, it is blessed by the extremely rare pulsometre scale on the bezel, a variation available at the time on request of the client which has been seen on an extremely limited number of similar watches.
