It's the perfect recipe: one part ST#1, one part Ultraman, add water. 😁

But it worked the other way around. The 145.006 was the first to feature all of this. Radial reverse panda and an orange chrono hand... 👍

Hi kov. I'm thinking about getting my first sporty watch and currently considering this 145.006 model. I saw one example on ebay with blue chronograph hand like this:

Does 145.006 have this variation? Thanks

Good luck for finding a nice one 😉
The watch you refer to is on eBay since more than a year. I am not saying this because it's wrong but usually BIN listings priced right sell within minutes. Still, since you're asking for my opinion, I don't believe that chrono hand to be original and the dial is damaged on the subcounter at 6. Also the lume is not attractive to me. Even if a 321 reverse panda like that is missing in my collection, I didn't buy this watch since it's listed for sale for above mentioned reasons. 😀

Thank you! Was only going to ask if there is this variation but now I also made my decision to pass this example 😁

Happy to see that Omega doesn’t forget about these 🥰

My Lemania ref 9655 sibling is “home” and has proved some real wrist gravity.
Obviously an Omega case that has been decapitated and reused by Lemania.
Serial has the movement production dare much later than Omega family members. We are talking mid 1980s.
After Lemania was sold as part of the plan to save Omega/SSHI (resurrected as Swatch Group), I guess they cleaned out inventory?!

Gotta love this thread! And great work here Kov!
Here is a picture of my 145.006 and my 145.016 (with the wrong hand).
Love the case, love the size and love the funk.

I would love if we could put in the right bracelet and endlinks on description for the models aswell, as I cant find it anywhere.

It is a 145.016.
My German watchmaker located near the Bodensee did the work, complete service including case.

I think these went from my collection in 2011, and there was no love in the market place. I had almost forgotton about them.

@kov Ah, yes. Same but different! I can't find a picture of the case back. I am sure you're right. Anyway, found some better shots while I was trawling through the album.
