hi, welcome. i cant answer all questions, but will try with some.
i doubt even Omega can now tell us how many seamaster 861's came out with that dial. its a fairly common watch in standard dial format, but the extra '45' on the dial is rarer, no more valuable, but as you know we dont do values on this forum. i think the 'soccer' name is more likely than the yachting title. there's no other reason for 45 minutes to be added on than 1/2 time and a yachting timer would have a 5 minute hi light, something to do with their starting system.
a pic or serial number of the movement would help as we can date it using omegas charts. 1 for all watches and a seperate one for speedmasters which also seems to fit early seamaster chrono's. i'think' its around 1972.
if you go onto omegas website you can do a search and get a rough idea telling you when that model was made ie between 1972 and 1975, but you can only get an extract from archives for your exact watch by paying for it.
nice looking piece in good condition so well bought. price/value is irrelevant. if you like it then its worth whatever you paid.
best

How rare is this Omega model? (Seamaster Soccer? Yacht?)
