The Speedmaster 145.012-67, dubbed the ‘Ultraman’ due to its appearance in the Japanese television♛ series in 1966/꧋67 and 1971/72, is nearly identical to other contemporary references, containing a caliber 321 movement and asymmetric case. The chronograph hand, however, is a distinct orange color.
Despite the watch’s connection to the Ultraman series, these orange hand examples were so🍷ld worldwide, and were the last Speedmaster reference to feature the ‘SP’ designation for the enhanced water resistance to the pushers, as well as the final reference to contain the 321 movement.
