The gold Omega reference 145.016 is a rare and stylish variant of one of the most versatile chronographs of the 1960s and 1970s. While most models of this reference were made of steel, the 18K gold case lends this timepiece a special sense of exclusivity and sophistication, making it an outstanding collector’s item. The 38 mm case is the perfect size for the warm yellow gold case of the Omega reference 145.016, with its luxurious yet understated appeal, complemented by the beautifully designed dial featuring sub-dials. The dial boasts a beautiful champagne-colored hue with applied hour markers accented in black and hands filled with luminous material. The tachymeter scale along the outer edge emphasizes the watch’s sporty character. The watch is powered by the reliable Omega Caliber 861, a hand-wound movement with a ratchet chronograph function, which was also used in the famous Omega Speedmaster. Its robustness, accuracy, and user-friendliness make it one of the most highly regarded movements of its time. Case: very good, worn. Dial: very good, slightly oxidized.
