Tom Dick
·Evening all
Recently returned to me from service and intended as a keeper but 6 watches in 4 weeks means Mrs Dick is on the rampage, especially as we have a baby due in three weeks ......... EEEEKKKKK
It was a birth year keeper but I have also just picked up a near NOS Birth year 145.022-76 (sold 77) so something needs to give as my collection is swelling and my head will be on the block is something doesn't go.
This is one genuinely rare Speedmaster but needs must and I am trying to be really hard on myself to ensure my collection actually gets reduced without selling one and buying two!
so here goes:
I think the title speaks for itself, this is one of the rarest Omega Speedmasters every made, an LCD variation Produced in 1977 and made for around 18 months, this example is unworn and a very rare bracelet model, non runners are selling for £400+ now and this is fully functioning and never worn, even had the factory zappon still intact on the case back.
The watch movement is correct and original 1620 which is serviced and fully overhauled which included the replacement of the circuit (the original was dead) and is working exactly as it should, including the light (which as you would expect for NOS is very bright), the case has not been touched as it was obviously NOS and as such unworn. There are a few light marks on the case back from storage and possibly someone trying to open the back at some point but nothing that detracts.
The watch is presented with a copy of the original Omega instructions and original full size NOS bracelet and the original stamped warranty certificate/ guarantee booklet and original inner and outer box.
Condition:
Case: NOS, only a few light marks from storage
Crystal: NOS a few light marks from storage
Movement: Mint NOS 1620 and functioning correctly, including the light
Case back: NOS including factory coating
Strap: NOS full size bracelet a few light marks from storage
Box and papers: Omega service pouch with hand tag and original instructions
The watches movement is cal 1620, not to be confused in any way shape or form with modern LCD movements. This movement has a circa 5 SPM accuracy as a result of a high quality 32Khz quartz resonator. The functions on the watch (which all work as they should) include:
• Time/hour/minutes/seconds and day of week
• 1/100 second chronograph able to accumulate to 0.1 seconds off 24 hrs
• Split second chronograph
• Lap time
• Split/Stop of 2 consecutive times
• Separately power light (working as it should)
• Calendar programmed for leap year
This really is a special watch, there where very few of this type of Omega Speedmaster Professional made and even fewer have survived unworn and functioning correctly, especially in this configuration, in fact this is only the second NOS one I have ever seen (and I owned the other).
I am looking for £795 for a quick sale including shipping, payment via BT or Paypal (+4%)
