The Omega Speedmaster Professional is by far one of our most favorite chronographs. The Speedmaster has an incredible history starting with automotive racing moving into flight and eventually to NASA and the U.S. Space Program.  There are many subtle differences within the vintage Omega Speedmaster range of references that make them all slightly unique and different.

The Ref 145.0022 with the workhorse Cal. 861 movements is clearly built to last. The Speedmaster looks great on the bracelet as well as a handcrafted leather strap. It is one of our favorite chronographs due to its timeless design and functionality. Its versatility to be paired with the most formal and the most casual of wardrobe also makes the Speedmaster a good choice for the first vintage timepiece and or a classic daily driver.

The excellent thick case has some patina from use but remains in overall excellent condition. The insert is free of any major blemishing and retains a deep black coloration  The Omega bracelet shows slight stretch from use and retains 23 original links complete with solid 812 end links

The amazing black matte dial is in immaculate vintage condition. The tritium markers on the dial have achieved a wonderful creamy patina and show some darkening consistent throughout the dial. The original hands match the dial beautifully with no signs of degradation on the dial or the hands when viewed under U.V. Light.

None. The watch was recently serviced and is running at COSC Spec backed by a 1-year warranty on movement.
