Hi, any knowledge on which of the two boxes pictured below (red or grey) would have been original to a 1980 145.022 Speedmaster? Maybe a different box altogether!! Thanks in advance - really appreciate all your help in this regard.

The grey box would rather be for the early-to-mid-nineties. Red one could work but it's older than that. Could work because Dealers were often putting watches in boxes they had on stock, especially the regular models and 145.022 is a regular Moonwatch.

Thanks for reconfirming what I thought about the grey box. I have a 145022 - 78 and a 145022 ST from 1980. Would be great to know the appropriate boxes for both watches. Thanks again, Paddy

Thanks, I happen to have two NOS Omegas with very similar watch boxes. Would be grateful if you could confirm if the outside of your box and your outer box match the below pictures (obviously yours won’t have Quartz on it

Seen this one held out as a complete set 1979

Hi, it’s pretty definitive so that this is the correct box given your link and the above response. Thank you, Paddy
