Featuring a cushion-shaped case and a stunning multi-colored dial, the present Omega Seamaster “Soccer Timer” chronograph reference 145.016-68 exudes a sense of athletic stylishness unmissable by its beholders. There are two dials available on these models, both featuring the same unique chronograph subsidiary dial coloration - with black and red halves separating the 30-minute register into 15-minute halves, and the hours register divided similarly into four quadrants of 3 hours. The moniker “Soccer Timer” comes from the fact that the minutes subsidiary register on the dial contains an enlarged 45 which can be used to note the half of a soccer game. It is a timepiece that has a unique vintage look in a modernsized case.
