OmegaThis Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph wristwatch, identified by reference 145.0022, is a manual-wind timepiece housed in a 42mm stainless steel case. The design incorporates characteristic twisted lyre lugs and a fixed black tachymeter bezel.
The watch features a black matte dial with luminous painted baton indexes and a trio of subsidiary registers positioned at 9, 3, and 6 o'clock, which indicate continuous seconds, 30-minute intervals, and 12-hour intervals respectively. The movement is the manual-wind caliber 861. The timepiece is fitted with a leather strap. Documentation notes that this reference designation was part of an Omega numbering system revision implemented in the early 1980s.
The watch is associated with the historical lineage of the Speedmaster Professional model, which retained consistent case architecture and movement specifications throughout this transition period. The construction relies on standard stainless steel components and luminous baton-style hands to ensure legibility.

- Case and Dial Design
- The watch features a stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter. The design includes the specific twisted lyre lugs associated with this model series. A black tachymeter bezel is mounted on the case, allowing for speed calculations. The dial is black matte and incorporates luminous painted baton-style indexes for hour indication. The display includes three subsidiary dials: a continuous seconds register at the 9 o'clock position, a 30-minute chronograph register at the 3 o'clock position, and a 12-hour chronograph register at the 6 o'clock position. Luminous baton hands indicate the time and chronograph measurements, complemented by an arrowhead-tipped center chronograph seconds hand.
- Movement and Functionality
- The watch is powered by the OMEGA caliber 861 movement. This is a manual-wind mechanical movement utilized in this reference. The chronograph function is controlled via the external pushers located on the right side of the case, flanking the crown. The movement drives the central seconds hand and the three subsidiary registers on the dial. The caliber 861 was used within the Speedmaster line during the production window established for this specific reference number.
- Model Identification and Numbering
- This watch is documented under reference 145.0022, a designation that emerged during an OMEGA reorganisation of its reference numbering system in the early 1980s. This model succeeds the earlier reference 145.022. The change in nomenclature did not involve modifications to the primary technical specifications, as the watch retained the 42mm case and caliber 861 movement. The production of the 145.0022 reference occurred between 1981 and 1988.
