How rare is this Omega model? (Seamaster Soccer? Yacht?)
I just acquire beautifull Omega Seamaster Ref 145.019, caliber 861 (see picture). All parts are original and just serviced in Omega Authorised Service (2 year warranty)
Can you help me to find out when this model was introduced? (I know it was around 1970...)
Some sources claim that this was "Soccer timer" model, others that it was "Yacht...something"
How big was the production....and is it really that rare as I havwe been told? ;-)
What would be an average expected price for such a model (exc+ condition, original Omega strap, just serviced)?
Kind regards

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...
Thanks Graham
Thanks for the information.... I'll ask repair service to open it and come back with serial number ;-) I grab this watch because I have never seen such a dial before (previously I had various Seamaster models, but sold them when I get fed of them ;-) .......
