It’s going to be difficult here to hide the love I have for the Speedmaster 1045 TV dial, which is certainly one of the most fashion-influenced and audacious Speedmasters of them all. It represents everything a 1970s watch should be. It’s chunky, it has an unusual shape, it is big and heavy and it has a totally distinctive colour.

The Speedmaster ref. 176.0014 features the very cool Lemania 5100 or Omega 1045, an automatic chronograph with central second and minute counters, a day-date complication, a 24h indicator and a high reliability (due to the use of a very simplified chronograph module and of plastic parts in the movement – not exactly exclusive, but efficient). It has this absolutely unique display, both complicated and balanced, that vintage watch lovers have enjoyed for years now.

The case has a remarkable shape (into the Speedmaster collection), a ’round square’ dial and crystal, a.k.a. a TV screen dial. Whereas most of the Speedies come with a round, black dial, this one has a sunburst dark blue dial and special two-tone hands. It also features the same integrated bar-bracelet as the Speedmaster 125’s.
