Omega reference 145.019 usually came with a so-called "soccer dial" featuring red and black subdials. Clients had the choice between pilot’s, diver’s or regatta bezels. The dial of this time was also used for Omega reference 145.023, a chronograph with a robust "Jaquette" case very similar to the pilot’s range. Omega confirms that in some very rare cases reference 145.019 was delivered with his type of dial.
Both Seamaster references are illustrated and described in "Omega" by Marco Richon, Bienne 2007, p. 546.
