ABOUT THIS WATCH:
The soccer timers were stand out design by Omega in the late 1960s. They were offered in 3 iterations, with this 145.016 in its lovely 38mm cushion case being the most simplistic. Some may think the roulette wheel dial version is the best (and sure, is of course super cool), but I would respectfully disagree as this is the one that hits all the right marks for me. The dial here is left to be the star of the show without any distractions surrounding it.
