, SPEEDMASTER, REF 145.022-69 STSTAINLESS STEEL CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH WITH BRACELET CIRCA 1970 , Dial: blackCalibre: cal. 861 manual winding, 18 jewels Movement number: 31'006'217 Case: stainless steel, screw-down backClosure: stainless steel Omega bracelet and folding clasp Dimensions: 42 mm, bracelet circumference approx. 175 mmSigned: case, dial and movementAccessories: Omega cardholder, one booklet, Omega associated presentation case, The Omega Speedmaster ref. 145.022-69 ST was produced approximately between 1969 and 1971, with an observed movement range from 28.420.XXX to 31.629.XXX. The last 'pre-moon' reference is fitted with the Huguenin Frères (HF) lyra case and the calibre 861, standing as the evolution of the calibre 321. The present example bears the attributes of a great vintage Speedmaster, such as the legendary stepped Singer dial and the single-bevelled Seahorse caseback, which was replaced by the commemorative 'Straight Writing' backs following the 1969 moon-landing. The 'Dot Near 90' (DN90) bezel is correct for this later production model, as only the early references 145.022-69 ST would be fitted with the 'Dot Over 90' (DON) bezel. Finally, this compelling and nicely preserved example would stand as a great addition to any vintage Speedmaster collection.
