About this watch

Omega Flightmaster 'Tropical Dial' Unpolished 145.013 44mm Circa 1969 Case & Bracelet The case is unpolished and in great, strong condition, with wear visible on both sides. On a Flightmaster that matters, because the look of the watch lives in the sharp line where the brushed top meets the flanks, and polishing is the first thing to round it off. The wear on both sides is the honest record of a watch worn for more than fifty years. The bracelet is in good condition, with some dirt visible between the links. That is typical of a steel bracelet that has been worn for more than half a century. Dial & Hands The dial is in great condition with an even tropical patina, warmed evenly across the whole surface rather than in patches. On a first generation 145.013 with its calibre 910, that evenness is what matters, because it lets the colour coded hands for the chronograph and second time zone keep reading clearly. The hands are in great condition.
