Omega Speedmaster 145.022 "Transitional" from 1969

 

These early calibre 861’s carried a dial with a identical design to the 145.012. These dials have an applied metal Omega logo, and long hour indices contrary to the standard 145.022 and Square end Chrono hand. This dials look the same as the one fitted to the 145.012, but they have different size feet, although in the same position, another important detail is the Low serial number calibre 861 (26m to 27m) and the Dot Over 90 Bezel 

The value of these "Transitional" watches is higher than the more common painted logo 145.022-69. They are considered rare, with limited availability on the market.
