Condition:
The watch is in great condition for a 1960s Speedmaster. The watch retains all the original engravings on the caseback and watch is although well used with normal dents and scratches across the case, it retains the thickness and original shape of the watch. The movement was inspected and is an original 321 movement with the period correct parts and in normal running order.
Our Thoughts:
No introduction needed for the Omega Speedmaster, one of the longest standing sports watch model that have quite literally been to the moon and back, the Speedmaster is ever-so-popular for all the right reasons. This particular example is introduced shortly after the actualy “moonwatch” that was introduced in 1965. It retains the popular and desirable 321 manually winded movement that collectors adore, along with a beautifully preserved matte black dial with aged lumes.
Although this piece does not come with the original bracelet that probably completes the look as a vintage tool watch, the watch is equally sporty and beautiful with a leather strap, and for those with a slightly more slender wrist pairing the 42mm watch with a leather strap works perfectly, giving it a slimmer profile aesthetically.
