Omega Speedmaster Professional ref. 145.022-76, complete set from 1979

The Omega Speedmaster is undoubtedly the most iconic line in Omega's catalog, holding a significant place in horological history. This particular 145.022-76 from is an updated version of the 145.022, originally introduced in 1969. This watch has a serial/movement number of 39XXXXXX, indicating an estimated production date of June 1978.

It features a 42mm stainless steel case with the signature black dial, chronograph sub-dials, and tachymeter bezel that define the Speedmaster's legendary silhouette. Powered by the reliable manual-winding Omega Caliber 861 movement, this watch delivers the same precision and durability that made it the first on the moon. It comes with its original stainless steel folding-clasp bracelet.

This watch is complete with its original box, warranty, and receipt dated December 2, 1979 from W. Bell & Co., making this a rare, well-preserved, and highly sought-after vintage Speedmaster set.

This watch is in excellent condition, especially considering its age. The case shows signs of wear consistent with regular yet careful use, and while the original bracelet has moderate stretch, it remains fully functional. The lume across the watch is largely intact, with the exception of the minute hand, where the lume has begun to deteriorate and fall out.
