Hi guys,
I am selling this really superb Speedmaster ref. 145.0022 from 1983.
This is without any doubt the best eighties Speedmaster I have owned.
The watch is 100% original, untouched, unpolished, never relumed. And even better, it comes with the perfect matching and early 1171/633 bracelet ( omega logo in bas-relief against a trapezoidal background ).
Given the early serial sits at the beginning of the serail range for this ref. this is the bracelet you would expect.

Dial is the type C3 with tall and open "S". Condition is fantastic. No missing lume on both hands and indices. Of course all the original tritium. Beautiful creamy color. Not one scratch or stain. Paint on all the hands in perfect condition as well. I think you cannot ask for a better looking dial ( and hands ). Lume is behaving as it should under UV light, both on indices and hands.

Case is in unpolished and very sharp condition with some minor hairline scratches you would expect from a 40 year old watch.
Short tail case-back is just superb as well, no scratches and all the black paint in the engravings still there.
You'll also notice the red wax seal.

1171/633 bracelet. Early one. Full length, some minor stretch but still in great condition.

The watch was serviced by my watchmaker on September 22, 2022. Goes without saying it's working perfectly.
Guarantee until September 22,2023.

Bezel: Type B2, dot close to 70, narrow C. Condition very close to mint.
Crown: Type A3, 24 - wide logo
Serail number: 44.124.xxx
Case Manufacturer: (Fir ) ADB
Case reference: ST 145022


If you are looking for a quality eighties Speedmaster I think you will have a hard time finding a better one than this. Condition and especially originality is everything on these vintage watches. The watch comes with everything you are looking for: Tall/open S dial, B2 bezel, early 1171/633 bracelet, perfect dial, unpolished case, red wax seal, serviced and with guarantee,...
One thing, it's not cheap. But condition has a price. Compare it to other 80s 145.0022 on the market and you'll see the price is not that crazy. Speedmasters from the 90s, nice as they can be, are just much easier to find than an 80s Speedmaster with this type of bracelet.

Price: €5.750 ( shipping to be discussed with buyer )

Payment: Bank transfer preferred ( Paypal + 4% )

( I give a full refund in case of any problem or if the watch would not be as described )

Best regards,
Bernard
