圖錄文章
Condition and quality is of essence here, an absolute “new-old-stock” full set example sold at Seibu Department store Japan preserved with a full blue zappon caseback as if it left the manufacture yesterday. Even the red seal remains perfectly intact, a telltale sign that the watch has never been opened.

In 1985, the firm decided to launch a variant of the Speedmaster with a pleasing complication that couldn’t have dreamt to be a better fit, the moonphase. Being the first model to include this indication, the reference ST 345.0809 is the only model with a sub-dial that has all calendar numbers with their feet facing towards the centre. With a relatively short 3 years production run, only 1,300 pieces were ever made, thus it is particularly rare and desired by collectors who have named it “Speedymoon”.

Inside the Spillmann steel case with elegant twisted lugs houses the Lemania based movement cal. 866, an upgrade from the robust famed calibre 861. Offered in “new-old-stock” condition which features the attractive large moon and aged creamy luminous accents with vintage charisma, the timepiece is further sporting the early 1447 steel bracelet with correct 805 end-links.

Omega

Swiss | 1848
Omega'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.
