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 sub-dials. What distinguishes the soccer timer from other cal. 861 powered Omega chronograph's of the era is the chronograph minute sub-dial was marked with a 45-minute indicator below the “30.” This feature was included to make it easier to time halves of a soccer match. Developed for the 1970 World Cup.
