Dial: black. This Omega reference 145.022-68 is regarded as a “transitional” Speedmaster - it is the first Speedmaster fitted with the novel calibre 861 but features, with a few exceptions, the typical traits of its predecessor reference 145.012-67. The Omega logo is made of metal, the indexes are unusually long and the dial is stepped. The overall condition of this timepiece is outstandingly good; the edges are sharply defined, the Speedmaster logo on the back is deeply engraved. The case has some slight, age appropriate surface scratches; the colour of the tachy bezel has faded over time and has taken on a uniform, light grey colour, which lends the watch a new and very appealing beauty. 歐米茄 “Speedmaster Professional” — 復古碼錶腕錶,稱之為”Tansitional” ,附小秒針,30分鐘及12小時小錶盤,以及”faded”隱藏的測速儀錶圈, 這是第一代附著名機芯 861的海馬系列腕錶,於1970年10月26日製作完 工,送交到瑞士,附歐米茄後補證書 50627 C: 2, 10 D: 2 M: 2, 41, 51 7.500 - 9.000 EUR 8.300 - 9.900 USD 64.500 - 77.400 HKD 494 Omega “Speedmaster Moon Watch”, Move- ment No. 31328862, Ref. 145.022-69 ST, Cal. 861, 42 mm, circa 1971 A vintage wristwatch with chronograph, 30 min. and 12h counter, auxiliary seconds and tachy bezel, produced on April 30th, 1971 and delivered to Singapore - with Omega extract of the archives Case: steel, screw back with engraving, Hesalite crystal, riveted “Omega” steel flex bracelet with deployant clasp, reference 1039, stamped 1/71, endlinks stamped 516, bracelet length 150 mm, total length 190 mm. Dial: black. The Omega Speedmaster model - affectionately called “Speedy” by its legion of fans - was the first timepiece on the moon and is still the only watch ever to reach the moon. Since that day, the same standard version of the Omega Speedmaster Professional has accompanied all American astronauts during their flights in space and reconnaissance missions to the moon – from the Gemini spacecraft to Apollo and the spacelab missions and eventually today’s Space Shuttle program. This legendary wrist chronograph was developed in 1942 and declared “spaceworthy” by NASA in 1965. The story goes that a number of NASA employees bought several standard watches of different brands to test them in rigorous conditions such as temperature, vibration, shock, absence of gravity and magnetic fields - and the Speedmaster was the only one that proved to be up to the job. The “chosen one” finally set foot on the moon on July 21, 1969 on the wrist of Neil Armstrong (some say Buzz Aldrin), during the first manned mission to land on the moon. This exceptional, classic timepiece and its unique history will remain forever unrivalled - even Elon Musk’s Tesla in space is unlikely to ever reach the Speedmaster’s cult status.
