Mark II Speedmasters were the first radical departure from the traditional Speedmaster case, and instead of an exposed lug design, the MK II was designed with a tonneau shape featuring hidden lugs but was fitted with the same chronograph movement – the famous caliber 861 – that was also used in the Speedmaster Professional of the time (ref. 145.022). The stainless steel case was chunkier and executed in a tonneau/barrel style, which was an aesthetic that was trending in 1970s watch design.
The steel versions were offered in a simple black dial nearly indistinguishable from the original, as well as a colorful orange and grey "Racing" dial. The tachymeter scale was moved from the exterior bezel of the watch to a position located on the underside of the flat mineral glass crystal.
While larger in size than a standard Speedmaster, they are extremely comfortable to wear, and wonderful to behold.
Omega brought the Speedmaster Mark II back to life in 2014, just in time for its 45th anniversary, with a reedition that remains largely true to the original release.
