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 .

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

 

How does it wear on the wrist ?

 

Very large. Almost like wearing an Invicta.

 

Ok, here are a few:

Seamaster 145.024


Seamaster 145.029


Wakmann (Lemania 1872 - the 861 forebearer)


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

Speedmaster Teutonic 145.0040:

And:

 

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.

 

Great idea !

Let me follow up with this uncommon (to say the least) variation of a cal 861 powered 145.019

 

Wow! That’s impressive!

Unsurprisingly Alexis you come up with a watch I‘ve never seen before! Very cool with the deep blue dial !

 

I keep them only for great threads and GTGs

 

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.

 

These are fantastic!! Love the 861 seamasters!

 

Yet more horological education on a Sunday morning.

Great stuff.

 

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

 

145.018 from late 1960's.

 

DeVille Prestige from 1997.

 

Nice choice of strap!

 

Thank you! Yes, I think it matches quite well
