·Hello,
I am putting up for sale a rare Speedmaster from the 80s.
This one is known as "Blue Hesalite" referencing the color the glass has turned into. Very few of these are around.
Here is an article about them (It is in French but you can translate the page easily into English) :
https://brusselsvintagewatches.com/...-rarissime-speedmaster-145-022-blue-hesalite/
Here is a small extract of this article translated : "Some Speedmasters produced in the late 1980s had a defect in the plexiglass crystal, which turned bluish over time. Fewer than 10 examples have been documented worldwide, most of which are held in private collections. This is the second “Blue Hesalite” I have acquired in the past fifteen years."
I would like 4400EUR net to me.
I accept PayPal (fees at the charge of the buyer ~+3%) for well established forum members only and bank wire for every potential buyer.
I am located in France so EU deals preferred. If located outside EU, the buyer is responsible for any additional taxes.
Shipping fees are free if shipped within EU. For outside EU, I'll have to check separately.
I accept returns if grossly misrepresented.
References:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remarks:
- The watch is in good working condition. Service history unknown.
- The dial has a some small stains/marks here and there.
One spot is on the periphery of the dial, on the very edge right after the 1 o'clock mark.
Some spots around the edges of the subdials.
These can be seen on the photos.
- The case/bezel all have some wear scratches.
- The glass has some light scratches.
- Watch head + Omega box and user manual
Movement : 861
Movement serial number : 48,224,432
Year : ~1987 (According to "https://www.ilovemyspeedmaster.com/")
Case dimensions : 39.6mm of diameter at the bezel - 48.2mm of lug span - 14.2mm of thickness - 20mm of lug width
