Omega Seamaster “Soccer” Roulette Dial - 145.019

Hi all,

Does anybody have good information on this particular vintage Omega? Its the first Omega I’ve fallen in love with.

I would love to purchase one but it seems pretty rare and I’m having trouble. Any recommended dealers or sites that I could rely on?

Thanks!
Mitch

After a little research......

Thanks, Mac5 and Stuie - appreciate the links! It seems the Roulette dial is hard to track down, I'll keep searching for one to purchase...

Anybody selling one with a Roulette or Regatta dial?

I haven't been following this particular model but they do occasionally come up for sale.

** Remember to "Buy the seller" - in other words do as much due diligence on the seller as you can before spending your money **

I spent ages trying to find a grey dial with roulette inner bezel. I eventually found one on chrono24.com but that was after I had started to collect various parts to build one. 🙄
So depending on what you want it might be worth your while buying a bezel and then look for a standard socer timer (black inner bezel) and then have them swapped.
There is a regatta inner rotating bezel on ebay now - note 145.008 and 145.019 share the same case.

Another option would be to locate a watch maker with an Omega parts account and ask them to see if they can order the bezel you want direct from Omega. If they are still available I don't think they would be as expensive as say ebay

For reference the Omega part number for the roulette bezel is 076TC0017

Wow, thank you @Stuie! This was fantastic and exactly what I needed to make my first vintage purchase. Very appreciative of the time spent on this.

I ended up purchasing the regatta bezel you listed and found a roulette one as well. I found a seller with a great reputation and history on eBay and purchased a standard dial soccer timer this evening.

I’ll post some pictures once my watchmaker replaces the bezel and I have it in hand. Now, which dial to put on first...
