Hi,

I’m pleased to offer an Omega Speedmaster Professional reference 105.012-64

CASE: Good condition asymmetric case with clear lines, no major dings or scratches, and no pitting or corrosion. I believe it has seen a light polish in the past. Double bevel caseback shows clear model number on interior and moderately crisp hippocampus engraving on exterior. Pushers are correct fat neck, short and wide. Crown appears to be correct, with a narrow, flat feet Omega logo. I can’t find an Omega logo on the crystal, so it may not be original. Please note in the photos, a tiny nick in the crystal.

BEZEL: Dot over Ninety (DON) bezel shows some deterioration between 8 and 10 o’clock, and a little more in the 6 o’clock area. Great fade, and depending on the light it appears either steely grey or light blue.

DIAL AND HANDS: Tritium step dial with applied metal logo is in good condition, generally presenting as faded black or dark grey. Long hour markers retain most luminous material, which has developed a good dark yellow patina. I suspect the hands may have been color matched with newer lume at some point, as they retain a decent green glow at night, whereas the indices don’t.

MOVEMENT: Calibre 321 is in beautiful shape and 2208xxxx serial is correct for -64. Watch winds firmly and smoothly, keeps time well and chronograph functions properly. Service history unknown.

ACCESSORIES: New Bulang & Sons black calf strap, and Extract of the Archives showing production date of June 18th, 1965 and delivery to the Netherlands Antilles.

$11,200 shipped via Fedex fully insured
