Omega produced the Flightmaster for less than 10 years, it came out in 1969 and was discontinued around 1977. The collection was developed as a navigational tool for pilots and other world travelers, including the crew of the Concorde British Airways and Soviet Cosmonauts. During its production, two generations came to market distinguished by either the caliber 911 or 910 movement. Omega only made four different models of the Flightmaster; the ref. 145.013, ref. 145.026 like the watch here, ref. 145.036, and solid gold ref. BA 345.0801.
This example is in overall nice, honest condition and comes with it's original papers which is uncommon for these in general. We got this watch directly from the original owner, whose name is on the papers and on the caseback engraving - we love getting these fresh to market watches!
