51 years ago today a trio of Speedmaster made their maiden trip around the moon on December 24th 1968. 145.022-68
It'll have to be extract. My '68 Transitional is Feb '69. '65 caseback Ed is '68. Not the best example.
Okay. My two 68 references 145.012-68, one of the last made, #26554736 145.022-68, one of the first made, #26556247, 1511 serial numbers later. (Last time I checked with ilovemyspeedmaster, the 861 comes back as March 1969 but the 321, with an earlier serial number, comes back in April.) I have put a better bezel on it since this photo. And, I’ll throw in this 145.005-67, roughly February 1968.
March 6, 1968 August 1, 1968 September 24, 1968 November 15, 1968 January 13, 1969 February 28, 1969 I love that year
