SOLD Recently acquired Speedmaster Racing 145.022-69

FraenkTheTank

I saw an extract of a 69-racing with very close serial, also May1970 and the extract stated in the field "dial": "not mentioned". So at least there was no hint for a black dial......... Crazy stuff

Hi, welcome to the club

Here is mine 296093XX production May 29th, 1970, delivered in Switzerland on June 3rd, but with no mention of dial color:
I have old orange hands, but not sure it would be a good idea to change it. This watch probably left the factory with these white hands.
Almost all "racing" dial have different sets of hands.

The other one I know, sold few month ago in Switzerland for about CHF30000 on Ricardo.ch:
Almost the same serial number as mine and delivered to swiss market that same day on june 3rd, 1970.

2 more sold in the last year, but later movement numbers and different hands sets too:

I could well imagine that some of those who have "racing dial" on their extract have supplied that information to Omega when requesting the extract themselves.

Not implying foul play, only that similar has happened on a number of occasions.

One of the autor of the Moonwatch Only book wrote in a french forum:

Nos records indiquent les versions 69 avec cadrans racing suivants:
- 4x en 29.6 millions
- 1x en 30.5 millions
- 1x en 31.6 millions
- 1x en 32.2 millions

That means that they only know 7 racing dial from 145.022-69, and 4 of them with 296XXXXX

That's a very very rare watch!!!

Guys at the Omega Museum / Archives now want to see the watch in order to eventually add such specific comments to the Extract.

Interesting. Do you mean see photos of or hold in their hands?

kov

Hold in hands and do their checks.

This doesn't mean yours isn't original - and you're still one of the lucky owners of a very rare watch 👍
