Evening all

I believe this is a very special watch and appropriate for the community, it is not yet listed on the site (hence my amateur pics) but I felt it appropriate to offer to the community first as this is a really impressive thing.



As I know the community will be aware, the Speedmaster 68 was the first Speedmaster to feature Omegas new cal 861 movement whilst still retaining the DON bezel and dial featuring the applied Omega name plus several other traits from earlier Speedmasters



This configuration was only manufactured for a short period of time but as you know many have lost the bezel and or dial during services over the years and with DON’s in this condition now north of £3500 and the dial are over £2500 in this tremendous condition.



This is a special find in my humble opinion. This piece is in great condition with and outstanding dial, near new old stock bezel and the case (which is out of this world) retains its crisp edges and have never been refinished, it has barely worn and quite simply is one of the nicest I have seen.



The movement is an early cal 861 with correct 26 milion serial number and looks and functions like new. The watch is fitted this to a new old stock Corfam strap (with correct buckle) which sets the piece off superbly and is incredibly comfortable to wear.



This watch is one of the nicest most original examplesI have ever seen, very clean, never restored.



This is a remarkable watch in original condition and a complete set, all of which are becoming increasingly hard to find for this model and variant.



Th watch is tested and working functionally and correctly, the movement is clean as you can see. I am happy to provide the same warranty I do through my website.



I fundamentally believe in offering pieces of the best quality and at the right price, this is IMHO the best piece on the market at the moment short of someone selling a new old stock watch.

£7500

I am firm on the pricing of this one and whilst I appreciate it is not ‘cheap’, this watch is outstanding. Interested parties would be welcome to speak to me on the phone about the watch, PM or view the watch at our offices in Cheshire.


Many thanks Tony Wooderson
