Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch ref. 145.022 circa 1978
The design language of the iconic Speedmaster has never changed from launch because it is simply too good. Even better, the Lemania based caliber 861 movement, similar to the 1861 ran from the 70s until 2020ish—once can say they perfected the Speedmaster Professional. They were originally designed for racing in 1957, later evolved for astronaut use by NASA in the 1960s.
This reference 145.022 specifically, is the quintessential baseline Speedy as it produced from 1968 all the way up to 1988 and was the launching point for the Caliber 861 movement. Here we have a late 1970s example with tritium dial with standard-issue black dot-beside-90 tachymeter bezel and “twisted lugs”.
This one was private serviced by Nesbits in 2018 as well as Right On Time Watches in 2022 and still running like an ace—timegrapher data reflects this. Overall the watch does have light wear and minimal signs of polish and wear—a few dial blemishes. Hands were replaced during service but we still have them and they are included. Original Omega crystal installed with symbol over handstack.
