The Speedmaster reference 145.022 was an extremely long-lived reference and was produced between 1968 and 1981. At the same time, Omega began to use the 145.0022 as a new reference number.
Reference 145.022 is considered a turning point in the continuous development of the Speedmaster and was the first Speedmaster model to be equipped with the famous calibre 861, a cam-operated movement that was lighter and could be produced in greater numbers than its predecessor, the calibre 321 with a ratchet wheel. Reference 145.022 can be divided into two categories: before and after the moon landing.
