·Hi,
I'm pleased to offer an Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022-69
From the nice shade of the dial and the lived-in bezel, to the Vietnam engravings on the clasp, this one has heaps of vintage character.
CASE: Unpolished case shows sharp lines all around, with a smattering of scuffs commensurate with age. Caseback is in good condition, with hippocampus engraving faded but present. Crown and pushers are likely older service units.
BEZEL: Dot over ninety bezel shows plenty of wear with moderate chipping throughout.
DIAL & HANDS: Stepped tritium dial with short indices is in very good condition, with some slight discoloration in the lume plots. The body of the dial shows just a slight hint of brown, which is not unusual for a watch in the 2911 serial range. Hands are in good condition, showing lume considerably darker than indices.
MOVEMENT: Omega calibre 861 is in excellent working order with unknown service history.
BRACELET: Omega 1039 with 516 endlinks is in very good condition. Clasp interior is stamped 3rd quarter of 1969. On the exterior is engraved "G.A. Furst Vietnam 11/68 - 11/69" and "Lam. 3:22:23" (Lamentations biblical verse) on the inside of one of the blades. Snaps closed nicely.
ACCESSORIES: Extract of the Archives showing production April 6th, 1970 and delivery to Germany.
NOTES:
-I bought this watch from an esteemed forum member and prominent UK collector known for finding one-owner Speedmasters. The story behind this particular watch is that after the Vietnam War, the original owner bought it to celebrate having survived his tour of duty. See biblical verse on clasp.
-Watch and I are in New Zealand, and shipping is via Fedex.
$6499 USD shipped
Wire Only to my US account. No returns unless watch is not genuine Omega. Plenty of references.

Thank you,
