Omega - Speedmaster Professional (1970's) 145.022 69 ST

If you're looking for a rare Omega Speedmaster professional this one should definitely be on your radar. This is the model: 145.022.69 ST, also known as the 'Straight text' back version. Produced from 1969 to 1974 there are not many of these (in comparison with other editions of the Speedy). Featuring the Calibre 861 movement it is a manual wind chronograph.

The watch comes on its original bracelet, which does have a bit of a stretch to it. Does not come with box or papers. The watch does require a service but this will be included in the price. As such the watch has a 3-4 week delivery time for its new owner.

The watch has plenty of character and if you're a fan of the Speedmaster professional then this is one to contemplate.
