The Flightmaster was produced in three different references, with two different calibers. The first generation Flightmaster is equipped with the caliber 910 and has a domed mineral crystal and a flatter case profile than its successors. The small 24-hour dial on the left is half green, half black and has the additional function of a day/night indicator. In 1973, Omega made some revisions to the Flightmaster and installed the caliber 911, replacing the day/night indicator with a small second hand and enlarging the case.

The Flightmaster was produced from 1969-1977. It is estimated that around 37,500 Flightmaster watches were produced. The American government placed an order for the X-33 program, and King Hussein of Jordan owned a solid gold Flightmaster. During the Apollo-Soyuz mission, cosmonaut Alexei Leonov wore a Flightmaster 911.
