In the style of Williams excellent thread here, lets see some 861's that are not Speedmasters!

There is a wide range of models and styles that the cal. 861 was featured in, so this thread should show a quite diverse array of watches 馃榾.

I'll kick things off with my 145.029 Seamaster "Blue Panda" . Until the recent introduction of the Tokyo 2020 Speedmaster with the blue panda layout the 145.029 and the famous Speedmaster Gemini IV are the only blue/white handwound Omega Chrono's I'm aware of.

Let's see what you got!

Cheers,

Max

Of course, there are the non-Moonwatch Speedmasters too:

Cool Wakmann! Essentially the same case and design as the 145.006 seamaster .

Certainly similar, but substantially bigger. The Wakmann case measures 41.25mm, with a lug width of 22mm -- the 145.006-66 measures 37.75mm with 20mm lugs.

A 145.016-68 that I've grown to really like. The camera sees more schmutz on the case and scratches on the crystal than my eyes do.

Love it. My next goal once finances allow is an 861 powered seamaster. They are gorgeous.
