Speedmaster, “The Holy Grail”
A fine and very rare stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with day, date, 24 hours indication and bracelet
Full-Cataloguing
Distinguishing features of this watch include a special centrally positioned 60-minute chronograph hand and a 24-hour indication. The crystal also boasts a special characteristic, with a metal minute track affixed to its inner edge, deviating from the typical stepped dial seen in other collections.
Despite an alleged limited production of around 2,000 watches, it is exceedingly rare to find an example with the correct bezel, dial, and hands. The luminescent material of the dial has aged uniformly, resulting in an appealing creamy hue. This vintage timepiece, cherished by its owner, is presented in an authentic state where it will be an important piece for any Speedmaster collections.
Omega
Swiss | 1848Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.
Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
