The Mark III is the first automatic Speedmaster. The watch is part of the "Pilot" model range and its bold design reminds the onlooker of an infinity pool on top of a volcano. The model was introduced in 1971 as the first with an automatic chronograph movement; calibre 1040, a.k.a. Lemania calibre 1341, was developed in cooperation by Omega and Lemania.
