1970 Omega Speedmaster Pre-Moon ref. 145.022-69 “DON Bezel”

Up for grabs is an Omega Speedmaster Professional

reference 145.022-69

305888XX serial number circa 1970 production

This is a Pre-Moon transitional model with cal. 861 movement.

Excellent vintage condition case case with sharp lugs. Seemingly unpolished.

Beautiful step dial with nice patina on plots and original hands.

Bezel is correct and original “Dot Over 90” with some signs of wear.

Caseback is original with legible Hippocampus on back, stamped 145.022-69 inside.

Crystal is Omega hesalite with logo in center.

The watch was found and comes with an generic vintage bracelet branded “BEAR”. It presents no monetary value, but is neat looking and looks nice. Happy to swap it for a leather strap for someone if you wish.

Service history is not known, though judging by the very dry-rotted gasket, the watch hasn’t been serviced for many years, or decades. Currently its winding smoothly and the watch shows -3 seconds with 280 amplitude.
