Join Waitlist

The Omega Soccer Timer is one of the coolest purpose-built chronographs that came from Omega. Produced from the 1960s to the 1980s, each Soccer Timer reference was either outfitted with a gray or white dial and all featured the stunning black and red chronograph subdials. What distinguishes the Soccer Timers from other cal. 861 powered Omega chronographs of its era is the minute recorder sub-dial is marked with a 45-minute indicator below the “30.” This feature was included to make it easier to time halves of a soccer match. Otherwise, the various Soccer Timers weren’t much different from the other caliber 861-powered Omega chronographs available at the time of production.  

This unique Omega Soccer Timer ref 145.019-69 features a vibrant inner rotating bezel in a roulette format which creates a tasteful and unique look that is sure to stand out when worn on the wrist. The ref. 145.019-69 would be a striking addition to a growing collection. We love the unique vibe of the soccer timer that immediately calls to mind the era from which it came.
