OmegaSpeedmaster

This vintage Speedmaster Professional from 1972 is not only representative of a true era of space flight equipment, but in almost identical specification, is still certified and used by NASA today. The 42mm stainless steel case has lyre style lugs with polished bevels and is fitted with a Hesalite thermo-plastic crystal. Designed for legibility, the matte black dial has contrasting white numerals, indices and hands with dished sub-registers at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. Tritium luminescent material applied to the markers and hands has faded over time to create a warm patina. The watch comes equipped on a stainless steel three-link bracelet with a single-fold clasp. Inside beats Omega’s calibre 861 - a manually wound chronograph with a 48-hour power reserve.

Originally sold in Blackpool in April 1972 the watch comes complete with the original guarantee, manual and box. To find a watch of this period complete with all it’s original accompanying items is indeed a rarity. The watch is presented in good condition with some marks to the case and bracelet commensurate and as expected with it's age.
