The Seamaster Chronostop was initially released around 1968 ,in time for the Mexico Olympics ,firstly in the smaller case size of 34m  and aimed at a younger audience offering a cheaper simple chronograph function at a lower price point than the famous Speedmaster .

Later the reference 145.008 was released around 1969 sporting a much more substantial 41mm stainless steel case and inner rotating bezel ,of the three variants of this model the Pilot line ,as featured here was the first. with its 12/24 hour inner rotating bezel it offered a clear accurate way of recording two time zones ,likewise the charcoal pie pan dial was very clear and legible .

The Cal 865 movement is a simplified but highly accurate version of the famous cal 861 movement found in the more expensive Speedmaster chronographs
