The Omega Speedmaster reference 145.022-69ST is the last “Pre-Moon” iteration conceived before the lunar landing in July 1969 and was made available to the market the following December. The model was the first Speedmaster to get a new dial which bears the painted Omega logo and the update of shortened luminous markers.

The present example is an early specimen of the reference identified by a caseback that does not feature “The First Watch Worn on the Moon” engraving.

Blessed with outstanding condition and further delivered with an Omega Extract from the Archives confirming its delivery on August 26, 1970 to the Virgin Islands, the present Pre-Moon Speedmaster furthermore features a Pulsometer dial.

Omega is known to have fitted a number of different scales on Speedmaster models: from the most often seen tachymeter scale to pulsometer and centesimal scales. Of course, the latter “exotic” indications are extremely difficult to find - most likely they were mounted on the watch under specific request of the client. Merging the historical and collectible side of watchmaking with modern looks and incredible wearability this watch represents an equally irresistible opportunity for the navigated connoisseur as well as the novice enthusiast.
