Notes

Ref. ST 145.010 launched in 1968, was intended for use by drivers. The bezel has been positioned so that the 12 is at the usual 3 o?clock position, as the watch as intended to be worn on the inside of the wrist. The bracelet has a large deployant clasp, which advertising of the period suggested for use as an ID bracelet.
