Are you sure it's the right production date? IIRC they have switched caseback into circular print " Flight qualified...." by mid 1971.

serial number is correct

one of the last with this caseback

Another 1971 Speedy with newer hippocampus logo case back is on sale in our forum. Its s/n is 32.842.XXX.
My 145.022-69 1970/1971 without hippocampus case back (1st gen) s/n is 31.619.XXX
That's why I am curious how come newer s/n could be used in previous model case back. One possible explanation, Omega did use the movement rather randomly. The other explanation, it is a service/ replacement case back.

Chuck Maddox explained that 1st gen caseback only used from July 1969 until 1971.
