The Omega Speedmaster is a legendary timepiece that has achieved iconic status in the world of horology. Originally introduced in 1957 as a racing chronograph, the Speedmaster gained worldwide fame as the watch that accompanied NASA astronauts on all six lunar missions. In 1969, the Speedmaster became the first watch to be worn on the moon, cementing its place in history. Durability, accuracy, and reliability under extreme conditions has made it a favorite of pilots, astronauts, and adventurers alike. Over the years, Omega has continued to refine and improve the design of the Speedmaster, while staying true to its classic look and feel. Today, the Speedmaster remains one of the most popular and revered watches in the world, a true icon of Swiss watchmaking.

This particular example comes from the long-running 145.022 reference and houses the now iconic Omega 861 caliber. These movements provide a huge amount of quality for their price point and we believe this neo-vintage era of Speedmasters to be a largely undervalued segment of the market, considering where other chronographs of the era trade. This piece boasts an exceptional quality dial with nice patina and looks equally at home on its bracelet as it does on a plethora of strap options.
