This 1967 Omega Speedmaster Professional reference 105.012 is a manual-wind chronograph wristwatch. The watch features a 42 mm stainless steel case with the characteristic asymmetrical design intended to protect the crown and pushers.

The matte black dial is equipped with baton indices featuring luminescent material, an external minute and second track, and an outermost 1/5 second graduation. Sub-dials include a continuous seconds register at the 9 o'clock position, a 30-minute recorder at 3 o'clock, and a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock. The time and chronograph functions are displayed via luminescent baton hands and a central sweep seconds chronograph hand with a pointed tip.

The bezel carries a tachymeter scale. Internally, the watch is powered by the manual-wind caliber 321 movement. It is offered with an extract from the archives and is mounted on a leather strap.

Design

Case and Dial
The watch features a stainless steel case measuring 42 mm in diameter. The design is noted for its asymmetrical configuration, which was introduced to provide protective guards for the crown and pushers. The case is fitted with a bezel engraved with a tachymeter scale, used for calculating speed and time intervals. The dial is finished in matte black and displays luminous baton indices. It is organized with a central hour and minute display, supplemented by three sub-dials: a 30-minute counter at the 3 o'clock position, a 12-hour register at 6 o'clock, and a sub-seconds display at 9 o'clock. The dial periphery contains both minute and second divisions, with an outer track calibrated to 1/5 of a second. Hands are baton-style with luminescent inserts.
