·1970 Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022-69 Pre-Moon Tropical Chocolate Dial
Really nice Pre-Moon Speedmaster with a chocolate dial. All component part reference numbers are from Moonwatch Only.
Reference: 145.022-69
Year: 1970
Serial #: 296021##
Case: 42mm
Lug Width: 20mm
Caseback: A4 – Hipposcampus in center still very clear and legible, single bevel, scratching from previous poor caseback removal
Dial: C1 – Original even tropical / chocolate brown, stepped dial, flaking on some of the lume plots, correct serial number for a chocolate dial
Hands: Original hands, the lume has turned to a dark brown / black, some of the paint on the hands have come off
Bezel: B3 – very clean, DNN bezel
Crystal: Appears to be an aftermarket replacement crystal, a few deeper scratches in the crystal
Crown & Pushers: A3 Crown – all original crown (24 teeth, 7mm) and pushers (5mm x 3.5mm)
Bracelet: 1171 with 633 end links, fits up to a 7.5” wrist, spring bars are really worn and difficult to remove
Movement: Caliber 861, no service history, in need of service, running ~20-25 seconds fast per day (dial up), power reserve is only ~14 hours, hour register does not reset – I have not had the watch serviced as I wanted to allow the buyer to send it to their trusted vintage watchmaker
Condition: Really good overall condition with nearly all original components - see pictures for more detail
Price: $5,000 shipped CONUS - Direct bank wire preferred. PayPal ok, gift payment only. Shipped via FedEx Overnight, insured.
References: I have bought and sold several watches on the Omega Forums, The Rolex Forums, and WUS, please search my username on the forums.
Please reach out to me with any questions via PM. Please let me know if you need any additional pictures.
Thanks,
LT
