Footnotes:
Having appeared in the 1970's tv show 'The Return of Ultraman' the Speedmaster Ultraman is easily distinguished by its striking orange centre chronograph hand. In 2018 Omega chose to release a new version of the Speedmaster Ultraman, also featuring an orange hand as well as Ultraman's head and orange three-minute markers on the subdial.
