For sale is my BA345.0802 (Head Only) with archives. This was one of the first editions to feature a display back and it was limited to approximately 280 pieces worldwide. Individually numbered.

I was originally planning to only offer my other 18kt gold Speedmaster, listed here, but since it hasn’t sold yet, I figured I would try my luck with this one instead.

The watch features an 18kt gold case, champagne / gold colored dial, and 18kt bezel. It is powered by the caliber 861L with 19 jewels, a special version of the regular caliber 861.

This particular watch was worn & loved and shows some normal wear from use. It has been polished at some point over the years. Some gold tarnish is present, but this can easily be removed. The bezel, dial, and hands are in excellent condition. This watch originally came on a gold bracelet, but no bracelet is included and this is how I originally purchased it. The watch comes on a black B&S JPM unlined shell cordovan strap with B&S gold toned buckle.

I was told by the previous owner that the watch was overhauled I think in 2018 through Omega, but I have no documentation of that. I believe Omega installed a new Omega crystal at that time. It is functioning and keeping good time.

Included is the Omega extract of the archives confirming the movement, reference and case of this watch.

This is a very rare Speedmaster, often discussed by RJB and Fratello. I am only selling this so that I can acquire other interesting watches.

Asking price is $18,250 OBRO shipped via wire. Willing to consider trade offers, but a straight sale is preferred. I would be interesting in other modern sports watches (Omega, Rolex, IWC, etc.)

Thanks for looking!
