Many thanks,
31629XXX serial number period correct for straight writing caseback c.1971 using the movement number, but inside back case markings correctly show 145.022 - 69 ST.
An excellent vintage condition case, which is free from any major dings or dents. The case shows only the slightest signs of its age, and the edges are very defined and crisp as we believe the watch never to have been polished. No corrosion or pitting. The case appears to have its original finish.
Dial is in absolutely superb vintage condition. All correct, with stepped dial “T SWISS MADE T", tritium all fantastic with beautiful patina on plots. Hands are also original with a very nice matching patina.
The original and correct "Tachymetre" bezel is again in excellent condition with almost, no signs of wear!
Caseback stamped 145.022-69 ST inside. Nice crisp, unfaded and damage free outer straight line engraving.
This particular watch comes on an excellent and original Omega 1039 bracelet with 516 ends, plenty of links for a full size wrist, consistently stamped ’ 1 and original to this watch. The bracelet is without any of the usual stretching that you would expect of something of this age!
The watch winds smoothly and runs very well. The chronograph functions run and reset back to zero as they should. Based on markings on the inside case back it looks to have been serviced and looked after but as with all our watches it will be delivered to its new owner having had a complete overhaul and will receive our VWS 12 months written warranty
Original vintage red omega box with outer card box also included.
This has to be the best straight writing Speedmaster we have ever come across. It shouldn't be around long.
