    Hi

    I have for sale my Omega Speedsonic f300Hz. This is the reference 188.0002 with the ESA9210 tuning fork movement. Featuring chronograph, day and date, the ESA9210 (and the non chronograph ESA9162 and 9164 movements) are often considered the "Rolls Royce" of tuning fork movements. Designed by Max Hetzel who previously worked for Bulova and who was also responsible for the Accutron 214.

    Case is steel and has the grey dial with the painted lume plots. There was a version produced with raised hour plots also.

    My research tells me it was released in 1972, this particular watch was sold in 1976 and still has its original inner and outer boxes, swing tag, certificate of high precision, international guarantee, operating instructions complete with plastic wallet sleeve and even the envelope they came in. It appears to be a complete set.

    Last serviced in December 2017.

    There are a few minor scratches to the case as you can see from the photographs but is overall in very good condition.

    It is fitted with an Omega stamped plexiglass and although I don't know if it's original, due to the age of the watch would assume the original was replaced at some point. It comes on a very nice signed Omega strap (worn).

    I have owned the watch for a year and have loved wearing it. Other plus points for me are its size, it's a fairly heavy watch and the "hummer" tuning fork movement. Hold it to your ear and you can listen to it vibrating at a frequency of 300Hz!

    In terms of asking price, with the condition and completeness of this package I am asking for £1,900. Shipping within the UK is included. Outside the UK at buyer's cost. I would prefer bank transfer but will accept PayPal with fees payable by the buyer.

    Thanks for looking and will be happy to answer any questions as best as I can.

    Thanks also OF for the space.
