    For sale comes simply the best Straight Writing Speedmaster I've ever had in my hands with some nice accessories as a collector set. So why am I selling it? Because my best half and I decided to acquire the real estate we've been renting for years now so I will be listing some watches for sale. This watch was the last significant incoming so is the first to go. My decision is your opportunity.

    So what have we got here? An all original 145.022-69 with a Straight Writing caseback in a perfect conservation condition.

    The dial has no damage and the lume (obviouly tritium) is intact. The hands also have a tritium lume and present a beautiful light yellow patina.

    The B2 DNN Bezel is absolutely perfect, in line with the watch.

    The good eye will notice the Ω logo on the crystal, pictured above.

    That case is definitely the best -69 case I've ever had. It's fat, it's sharp, it's perfect.

    Look at the flat parts below the lugs... it is untouched. The caseback is also in a perfect condition, protected with a sticker. Correct reference engraved inside.

    According to the Extract from Omega Archives, the watch was produced on September 23, 1970 and delivered to Switzerland.

    The movement is like new. It was serviced by Romain from www.atelier-h13.ch in november 2019 and is good for a while. The mechanical warranty will be transferred to the buyer. Please note that it's a vintage watch and its water resistance was not tested and is not guaranteed. The reason for this is the wish to preserve the original pushers and crown. The buyer has to be aware of that and wear the watch with that in mind.

    Accessories in the set :

    - Commemorative Crater Box in a perfect conservation condition
    - You and Your Omega booklet
    - Warranty booklet (unfortunately blank) from 6.1970
    - (Also blank) sales tag from the early seventies
    - Omega Red plastic folder to store the documents safely
    - Original Omega storage pouch with an insert
    - Extract from the Omega Archives

    IMG_4401.jpg IMG_4402.jpg IMG_4393.jpg IMG_4394.jpg

    To recap :

    - All original Straight Writing on 1171/633 first execution in a perfect condition
    - Recently serviced / mechanical guarantee
    - Crater box
    - Booklets, tag, folder and pouch
    - Extract from Omega Archives
    - CONDITION ( ! )

    What you see is what you get.

    Terms and conditions :
    I am a private collector and will set the post OHPF after getting the first PM saying "I will buy this watch at your price".

    11500 CHF / 11800 USD / 10800 EUR / 9500 GBP wired directly to my bank account for the set as pictured.

    I am pricing this set according to the collector category of Speedmaster101. So basically you agree with the prices of SP101, you are getting the service + mechanical warranty + all the accessories (crater box!) of the set for free.

    I will include fully insured shipping from Switzerland to wherever Fedex can deliver.

    Returns are accepted only if grossly misrepresented. You will get what you see in these pictures which are of a decent quality, unedited and high resolution, so I don't believe there is any chance of misrepresentation. Feel free to ask for special details or angles you want to see better, prior buying.

    References : by searching the 'seller profiles & review' sub forum
    100% positive feedbacks here as well as other platforms - can link with happy buyers worldwide, on request.

    Thanks to OF for the space. :thumbsup:
