Hello i am new in this forum, i am a Omega Collector.
I found a special Speedmaster Apollo XII.
Case Ref. 145.0022, Movement Cal. 864, Dial ???
What do you think about it?

Thanks for all answers and Best Regards, IVO

 

Oh wow.........never seen like this. Even in AJTT IIRC. Certainly unique and rare. Where do you get it? Is it all original or some kind of mods?
Could you share case back pictures?

 

I am no Speedy expert, but I suspect that is some kind of aftermarket mod...and the cal 864 was not one of those tested or approved for flight by NASA. I think it was made for commemorative purposes, but no idea as to who.
I found a bit more on various Speedy calibers on this thread:

From the photo's provided this looks more like an auto version than a speedie pro to me, I could be wrong but I am fairly sure it is not a 145.0022 case and I would guess it's a cal 3220, as for the dial no idea at all

 

To my knowledge the 864 caliber was used in the 1994 White Gold chronometer produced in 500 units and another limited edition I think it was platinum or yellow gold. That watch looks like a 3594.50 that had a donor 864 movement and the dial was printed using the Apollo XII patch with the subdial and second hands changed.

 

.....so it is a Mod as I suspected.

 

It's my watch's big brother!

 

That's definitely a mod. Seems to me like a mod on the '57 edition of 1999-2003. In any case, it is something I would leave alone. Just to be sure

 

It is indeed a customisation by a private person here is Switzerland.

 

I wish I could buy a new mission waxth those are classy
