The Speedmaster is undoubtedly Omega’s most iconic creation, made legendary as the first watch worn on the moon. This reference 145.022-69 dates to the early 1970s and features the desirable “Straight Writing” caseback introduced following the lunar landing.

The familiar black tachymeter bezel frames a black chronograph dial showing considerable aging and surface deterioration, with most of the luminous hour plots now absent. It is powered by the caliber 861 manual-wind chronograph movement and fitted with an Omega-signed acrylic crystal.

Completing the watch is its period Omega 1039 flat-link bracelet, dated 4/70 and fitted with 516 end links, featuring the characteristic spring-loaded expandable links. A characterful vintage Speedmaster with the wear and patina accumulated over more than five decades.
