SOLD 1957 Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow 2915-1 w/ Tropical Brown Dial

Price by request

Up for grabs is an Omega Speedmaster

First version reference 2915-1

166483XX serial number

Excellent vintage condition case. The lugs still show the usually polished off bevels. There are no major dings or dents. 

Dial is fantastic, original, radium. Has aged to sort of a “mocha” brown color. Looks incredible in the shade and in the sun (pictures were taken on cloudy day, under natural light). Most of the luminous material is still intact on markers. The subdial hands and large seconds hand are original, show aging and patina from white to a creamy color. 
 

Broad arrow and leaf hands are original (not service, not aftermarket, not off another model) and 100% genuine ref. 2915 Broad Arrow hands. Obviously, they are missing the luminous material, but nonetheless are original and correct. 

Bezel is a DON with very fitting aging and patina and appears long-term aging together with the watch. 

Caseback is in excellent vintage condition. Correct outer engraving of SPEEDMASTER only on the side. Inside is stamped 2915-1
 

Caliber 321 movement is correct, 1st Generation with arrow-shaped adjustment index and correct and original symmetrical shaped clutch-lever bridge. 

The watch runs, winds smoothly. The chrono engages, runs, resets back to 0. It comes on a vintage leather strap.
