OMEGA Speedmaster Ref. 145.022-69 1970 Meister double signed

This 1970 Omega Speedmaster Ref. 145.022 is a stunning tribute to a truly iconic design, embodying Omega’s legacy in horology. This WRISTCLASSIC is an original “Moonwatch” model, a piece made even more unique by the rare double signature of the retailer Meister on the clean, well-preserved dial. This detail, along with the simple Omega logo and harmonious hands and indexes, makes the watch exceptionally collectible. The watch features a 40 mm case with a robust wide-set bezel, giving it a bold presence, while its original steel bracelet adds a vintage charm in fantastic condition. Powering this classic is the famous Caliber 861, a movement known for its accuracy and reliability, running strong and keeping time beautifully. With only light signs of use on the case, it maintains the true spirit of a vintage Speedmaster while being perfect for everyday wear. The Omega Speedmaster is steeped in history as the timepiece that accompanied Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the first moon landing, a role that cements it as one of the most important watches ever made. This Ref. 145.022 is both a functional chronograph and a piece of space-exploration history—a remarkable addition to any collection.

OMEGA

Omega was founded in 1848 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Louis Brandt. Out of this small watch manufacture grew a large company: In 1894, the famous 19-ligne pocket watch movement was developed and named “Omega”. Omega, as the final letter of the Greek alphabet, stands for the ultimate level in perfection and quality. In the 1930 the company entered into collaboration with the S.S.I.H. (Société Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogère). Out of this collaboration the Swatch Group developed. Today, Omega is the flagship of this huge company. In 1932, Omega entered its partnership with the Olympics which continues till today. When in 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin accomplished the first moon landing there were equipped by Omega with the Speedmaster, and this so-called „Moonwatch“ is still regarded as one of the most significant watches in history.
