1968 Omega Speedmaster Pre-Moon ref. 145.012 “Perfect Patina, 1039, Cal. 321”

Up for grabs is an Omega Speedmaster Pre-Moon

Reference 145.012-67

250030XX serial number circa 1968 production and is correctly within range of 145.012-67’s.

There is a import hallmark stamp on top left lug. This was usually done in Portuguese market. I guarantee the watch will show up as 145.012, sold to Portugal in 1968 if Extract or Archives is ordered. I have already confirmed this with Omega Museum verbally, but ordering Extract into USA is complicated.

Case is sharp with sharp lugs/edges. No corrosion or pitting.

Dial is original with perfectly nice patina and original tritium hands. It looks like the Chrono sweep hand’s lume has been relumed in past as it has a greenish tone.

Very attractive, slightly faded DON.

Caseback is original with clear HIppocampus on back, inside is stamped 145.012-67

Bracelet is Omega 1039 with 516 ends and 1968 date. No stretched out spring-loaded links.

Crystal is Omega hesalite with logo in center.

No box or papers. No documented service history. Chrono runs, stops and resets.
