Omega Speedmaster pro 105.012-65, Extract, Serviced

Speedmaster 105.012-65 with extract of archive showing a delivery to France 16 November 1966, serviced by STS in June 2018, watch comes with a 1506/16 bracelet and 1501 box/outer box.



Case : 105.012 HF 65 case (Type B1) in very nice condition, lugs are well defined, angles are sharps, it has of course a few marks as expected on a 50+ years old watch but overall it is well preserved.

Caseback : double bevel case back (Type A3) in great condition, it is stamped 105.012-65 inside. The Seahorse engraving is very sharp and deep, the factory finish is still clearly visible. Dust cover is included

Dial : Stepped dial with AML (Type B2), long indices, closed spaced Ts. Tritium light up under UVs and glow for a few seconds.

Hands : Baton hands (Type C1), Tritium glows as expected and decay over a few seconds when exposed to UVs

Movement : Calibre 321 (second generation, A3 Type), serial number 2401xxxx. The movement works perfectly, the watch keeps good timing, the chromo start and reset as it should. Last service by STS in June 2018

Bezel : Dot over ninety bezel (Type B1) in great condition

Pushers :: Fat neck pushers (Type 3)

Crown : 24 teeth, flat foot crown (Type A1). When I purchased the watch, the fitted crown was an A2 so I found the correct type on the internet and asked STS to install it when they serviced the watch.

Glass : Hesalite with the Omega narrow logo etched

Bracelet : 1506 bracelet with 16 end links. The bracelet has 8 extensible links and the clasp is stamped 4/66. Bracelet condition is very nice, of course it has a bit of stretch as expected.

Accessories : 1501 box and outer box but not original to the watch. STS invoice dated 07/06/2018.


Overall, a nice premoon, well preserved and fully conform to the original factory specifications

🤦 What an idiot, I completely forgot I had the watch listed here !
I guess I wasn't psychologically ready to sell this beauty.
I think it is more than time to give a gentle bump to my sale post 😀
Two major changes, firs,t the watch is now for sale "head only", it will come on a black NATO strap, the 1506 bracelet and the 1501 box aren't included anymore.
Now in regard of the watch, as clearly visible on my original pictures, the Chrono recorder hand has been damaged in the past and someone repaired it grossly with a bit of solder. I wasn't happy with that so I've decided to send the watch to STS in UK and asked them to replace the tube and rivet fitted on my hand with a set coming from another 105.012 hand, I also requested a colour matched partial repaint of the minute hand near the centre hub, where the white paint was flacked.
The watch has just returned so i think it is time to find her a new owner.

Due to a very undecided buyer, the watch is available again.

Considering the global situation and the Vintage market condition, I prefer to close the listing and withdraw the watch until better times.
Also, I'm enjoying every bit of time with the watch on my wrist, I'm not so sure anymore that I want to let it go away !
Thanks zgain to OF for the space.
