Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022, 1971

A lovely example of the Omega Speedmaster 145.022-69, fully overhauled in Geneva by Omega. Originally launched in 1968, the Omega Speedmaster Ref.145.022 was first of the 861 calibre Speedmasters. With early examples having had time to develop an attractive vintage feel and coming in significantly cheaper than their earlier cal. 321 predecessors, now is a great time to buy into this reference. Condition Report: This particular Speedmaster was sent for a full overhaul by Omega in Switzerland at a cost of CHF 2,284.95. As well as a complete service of the movement, the case and case back were replaced. In the past the hands have been re-lumed and the bezel also changed for a later service one. When it comes to changing cases, traditionalists think its sacrilege and normally we wouldn't buy one either. However when our customer brought it in and we saw it in the flesh we must say we had a change of heart. In its current form you get the best of a sharp new case along with the charm of a gorgeously aged dial - not a bad combination indeed!

ABOUT US

Founded in 2016, Time Rediscovered was born out of the founder's frustration with the excessive pricing, arrogant service, and dishonest descriptions prevalent in the vintage watch industry. We set out with a simple vision - to make buying and selling vintage watches feel like dealing with a trusted friend. Here's how we do it:

  • Fair Prices: We squeeze our margins and keep our costs low, then pass the savings on to you. No inflated prices or hidden fees, just honest value.
  • Thorough Servicing: While others merely "inspect" their watches, we go the extra mile by fully servicing each piece. Yes, it costs more and takes longer, but we believe it's the only way to responsibly sell watches that are often decades old.
  • Transparency: We always strive to accurately show and describe our watches, so you know exactly what you're getting. No surprises, no disappointments - just a commitment to transparency!

And we're just getting started! We're working on some exciting developments to bring the joys of vintage watch collecting to a new generation of enthusiasts. Be sure to follow our shop to stay updated on our latest listings, offers, and initiatives. Together, let's redefine the vintage watch experience!
