1970 Omega Speedmaster Professional 145022-69 “Straight writing” with extract

Watch lovers know it, the details make the difference. So what makes this Speedy literally stand out ? Well, first of all, it is a coveted reference, 145.022-69, especially as this year will be the 50th birthday of the moon conquest, but also because this one features a rare “straight writing” caseback, especially hard to find.
But the reference is not all and scarcity comes also from condition. This beauty is superbly preserved, showing a perfect black step-dial, a beautiful gray faded bezel and a strong vanilla tone of the tritium on indexes and hands. All original, it comes in a razor sharp case, most likely unpolished.
Cherry on the cake, the lot includes an extract of the Omega archives, showing the watch has been sold in 1970 in South Africa.
