Throughout its production span from 1969 to approximately 1977, Omega crafted four distinct variations of the Flightmaster, with three models crafted in steel and one in solid gold. In 1971, Omega unveiled the second generation of its iconic Flightmaster with the reference number 145.026 with a relatively short production run of only 1 year.
Setting the second generation apart from its predecessor is the addition of a running subsidiary register positioned at nine o'clock. This iteration, dubbed the "911," adopted a modified caliber 861 movement, replacing the previous AM/PM indicator with a continuously running seconds register. Visually akin to the Speedmaster, this alteration underlines the functional resemblance between the two timepieces.
Echoing the Speedmaster's association with NASA, the Flightmaster found favor with ROSCOSMOS, the Soviet space agency, cementing its spacefaring legacy. .
Embodying the spirit of the golden age of aviation, the Flightmaster epitomizes a blend of precision, utility, and captivating design. Tailored to the needs of pilots, this timepiece seamlessly integrates a chronograph function, multi-time zone capabilities, and a distinctive rotating bezel, rendering it indispensable for jet setters and explorers alike.
