Case and Dial Design
The timepiece is housed in a stainless steel, tonneau-shaped Pilot-line case, which measures 40 mm by 52 mm with a thickness of 16 mm. The case features a brushed finish, a screwed-down case back embossed with the Seamaster logo, and integrated hooded lugs. The Pilot-line architecture was utilized by Omega for various chronograph and non-chronograph models during the 1970s.
The satiné blue dial includes faceted black painted indexes and luminous dots. The display incorporates a tachometer scale reaching 500 units per hour, an inner five-minute Arabic numeral track, and an outer minute/fifth-second scale. Complications are arranged with subsidiary dials for seconds and a 12-hour register, a 24-hour day/night indicator, and a date aperture. Chronograph minutes are tracked via an orange and black central jet hand, complemented by luminous white baton hands.
