Unusual Speedmaster dial


Hi Guys,

Whilst surfing around a bit I spotted this dial.

I've never seen this before.

Whilst I fully realise that it could be a redial, I wonder if anyone out there has seen this before. ( no "Swiss Made" markings also support this theory )

Day/Date so not an 861 / 321 / 1040
It looks like seconds (or minutes ) in the 09:00 subdial & hrs in the 06:00 sub dial.

It could be a 1045 dial ( hide the 24 hrs sub dial at 12:00 ) or possibly a 1255 ( speedsonic - but I think the day/date is wrong for that ).

Also since the 45 Min marker is red, I assume it has a central minute counter... 1045...

I'm guessing that this was made for a watch used primarily to time sports events. eg football Soccer has 2 45 minute halves.

I know that Omega have made some FIFA wathces over the years but these are clearly marked so.

Anyone out there know anything ?

S.
