The Omega Speedmaster 345.0808 is a beloved reference within the Speedmaster Professional series, celebrated for its distinctive display case back and robust connection to the iconic "Moonwatch" lineage. Produced during the 1980s, it features the Caliber 863 manual-winding movement, renowned for its reliability and enhanced finishing compared to its predecessor. The standout feature of the 345.0808 is its sapphire crystal case back, offering a glimpse into the intricately decorated movement—a rarity among Speedmasters of the era.
