··Prolific Speedmaster Hoarder@Barkingmad : What ist the story of this 220 bezel being on this particular watch?
I purchased from of a reputable forum member at the beginning of the year and below is an extract from his sale description:
“barn find” 145.022-68ST. This one owner watch was purchased at an estate sale, just had a brand new (OEM) mainspring from Otto Frei installed, and is keeping excellent time with all functions working correctly.
Bezel: Features an extremely rare “220 bezel,” which is one of a small number that left the Omega factory with a misprint on the “200” spot in the normal Tachy bezel. While 220 bezels are typically seen on early 145.022-69’s, it’s my firm belief that it is original to this watch. I’ve drawn this conclusion based on three main pieces of evidence: 1) a 220 bezel would not have been used as a service bezel from Omega (especially given the extremely small window of time in which they were accidentally produced), 2) the 27.3M serial is towards the very end of the -68’s, and 3) the watch was not owned by a watch collector who would have actively sought out this bezel. The only possibility is that it was swapped on by a third-party servicer in the 70’s or so, but I highly doubt this to be the case given the rarity of these bezels.
Cheers
