Omega Speedmaster Professional – Ref. 145.022 – Cal. 861 – Year 1974 – Watch Only

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Ref. 145.022 is one of the cornerstones of Moonwatch history and one of the most sought-after references among vintage Speedmasters. Powered by the legendary calibre 861, this model represents the direct evolution of the watch that accompanied NASA during its space missions, preserving its functional design and historical character.

This example, dating to 1974, features the classic 42 mm stainless steel case of the Speedmaster Professional, with well-defined lugs that reflect careful use and respectful preservation over time.

The black dial shows an attractive and even patina, with naturally aged hands and hour markers that add character and authenticity. The subdials remain highly legible, reinforcing the perfectly balanced design that has made the Speedmaster an absolute icon of watchmaking.

The black anodized aluminum tachymeter bezel stands out for its beautiful aging, showing a deep and uniform tone while retaining clear numerals. This type of bezel is particularly appreciated by collectors and greatly enhances the vintage appeal of the watch.

Inside beats the Omega calibre 861, a manual-winding movement renowned for its robustness, reliability and precision. Introduced as the successor to the calibre 321, it became the standard movement for the Speedmaster for decades.

The watch is fitted with a Hesalite® crystal (plexiglass), faithful to the original Moonwatch specification, valued for its warm appearance and impact resistance, and historically used by Omega in Speedmasters certified for space flight.

The caseback is the classic solid Speedmaster Professional caseback, featuring the central seahorse medallion and the iconic engravings: “Speedmaster – Qualified by NASA for all Manned Space Missions – The First Watch Worn on the Moon”, a defining detail linking this watch directly to the history of space exploration.

Offered as a watch only, this piece is in very good condition for its age, presenting an honest and attractive appearance fully consistent with a vintage Speedmaster over 50 years old.
