SEAMASTER MODEL, REF. ST 145.019, CIRCA 1970

This perhaps unique Extract-confirmed prototype Seamaster chronograph dial with amazing and vibrant orange subsidiary dials and outer minute/seconds ring can only be described as stunning. Equally, its condition is remarkable and can be considered virtually ‘new old stock’. For the Omega collector, and for anyone who searches for exclusivity in wristwatches, this prototype Seamaster Chronograph is both a dream piece and a fantastic classic vintage design from the dawn of the 1970s.

Made under reference ST.145.019, the accompanying Omega Extract from the Archives confirms the prototype dial, the watch’s production on 25^th May 1970 and its delivery to the United States. The Seamaster chronograph reference ST.145.019 was launched in 1969 and is known for its unusual and visually striking coloured dials. The present watch is one of the most extraordinary variations seen so far with its quite probably unique combination of a grey/brown background colour dramatically contrasting with the bright orange subsidiaries and minute/seconds ring. It is thought to have been one of a batch of prototypes produced for the American market in 1970 with then ultra-modern proposed dial designs and colour palette combinations for consideration.

A real ‘head turner’, the present watch offers the almost certainly one-off opportunity to acquire an outstanding Extract-confirmed vintage Omega prototype in mint condition.
