1968 - I was under the impression that these were introduced quite late
on in 1968... Certainly my De Rosa is full Campag save for the Universal
68 brakes.
The Campag brakes are mentioned in a January '69 article on Masi by John Wilcockson:

In the second column, Masi said that the brakes were not for sale yet and only Merckx and Adorni were using them.? Not sure exactly when this interview took place, the author only says it was in the fall (of '68) but he later mentions it was after the Tour of Lombardy and before the Gran Premio Cynar time trial so that would probably narrow it to late October, no?
