Notes

Speedmaster 125 ? Ref. ST 378.0801 - was the world`s first officially certified self-winding chronograph-chronometer. A total of 2000 examples of this model were made, starting in 1973, to commemorate the company`s 125th anniversary. The black dial thus bears the applied mirror-polished number ?125?. The mineral crystal was available with reverseprinted tachometer (most common), pulsometer, telemeter, and decimal scales. This watch is published on pages 68-69 of ?The Master of Omega?.
