    I haven't gotten a chance to get some proper pictures going but I purchased a 145.012-67 from the original owner in May this year.

    The original owner purchased this piece while he was on service in the US Navy . I'm not sure if this qualifies for Military watch (perhaps is does?), but the Extract from the Archives I ordered this June 2016 showed this, which was a huge surprise and a thrill for me:

    "Delivered to: US Sixth Fleet and US Military Sea Transportation Service in Europe"

    EDIT: No specific markings on the watch though.

    that will be a non issued Military Speedmaster. you could buy watches through the ship`s shop without any taxes......that`s why Omega states the delivery to the navy. kind regards. achim
