OMEGA, SPEEDMASTER PROFESSIONAL, MOONWATCH, REF. ST 145.022

ICONEEK price: SOLD

Iconeek is proud to introduced here a nice and attractive condition Speedmaster Professional, ref. ST. 145.022. Made circa 1987, the present model is featuring with a lovely patinated tritium dial and its original bracelet.

The model comes with a three-body construction: a large water-resistant 42 mm. asymmetric stainless steel case with lyre lugs and two round chronograph pushers in the band, protected by a guard, a snap on black bezel, with its tachymetric scale, a screwed case back engraved with the Speedmaster logo on the back.  The inside case back is engraved « KB & ST145022 ». No need to further present the so famous Moonwatch, the present watch is not engraved with the serial number on the lug, as it started one year later in 1988 (a very convenient way to identify the model without opening the case back).

Under the hesalite glass, we find a matte black dial with painted luminous tritium baton numerals, three subsidiary guilloche dials for the constant second at 9, the 30-minute register at 3, the 12-hour register at 6, an outer minute and 1/5th second division, luminous white Baton hands, all protected by an hesalite glass, engraved underneath with the Omega logo. Protected by a dust cap, the present watch is powered by a caliber 861, with copper finish, 17 jewels, straight-line lever escapement, monometallic four-arm balance, self-compensating flat balance spring, shock-absorbers. The present watch comes with a stainless steel Omega bracelet with endlinks no. 808 and deployant clasp numbered 1450. The size between the lugs is 20 mm. The approx. overall length is 185 mm. Dial, case and movement are signed.

Iconic watch, superb look, a great 1980s Speed to start a collection !

Condition: 8.5/10, in very good overall condition, original tritium dial with a nice and attractive patina!
