·Dear OF members!
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a Omega Speedmaster 2998-4. This is a very important reference in the Speedmaster story. It was the first Speedmaster carrying a black bezel. It is the second Omega Speedmaster reference with straight lugs. The Speedmaster CK2998-4 is the fourth reference of 8, and was introduced in the fall of 1959 as a successor of reference CK2915. This extremely rare reference has only been made in 1961and 1962. The CK2998 was also the first Omega in space, on the wrist of astronaut Wally Schirra. It was his own privately acquired watch and joined him on the Sigma 7 mission in 1962.
This watch has the original DON (dot over ninety) bezel as well as a beautiful and sought after 7912 flat link bracelet with 6 end links date stamped 4 64 meaning 4th quarter 1964. This watch has been bought by a serious Speedmaster collector from the son of the first owner and comes with an Extract of the Archive dating this watch to September 8, 1961 delivered to the United States.
