Omega 1450022 Speedmaster from 1997

Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.0022 – 1998

An iconic piece of horological history, this 1998 Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.0022 offers collectors and enthusiasts a superb opportunity to own one of the most celebrated chronographs ever made. Famously known as the "Moonwatch," the Speedmaster’s legacy was cemented in 1969 when it became the first watch worn on the moon. Its rugged reliability and timeless design have made it a staple in both NASA missions and the watch community for decades.

This particular example is in top collector-grade condition. The 42mm stainless steel case is exceptionally well-preserved, with sharp lines and crisp brushing. The dial and hands are flawless, retaining their original finish and luminous material, presenting beautifully under any light. Importantly, the enamel on the caseback medallion remains untouched and in perfect condition, a detail often lost over time and a testament to the care this watch has received.

The watch is powered by the legendary manual-wind Caliber 1861, a direct descendant of the Caliber 321 that accompanied astronauts to the moon. The movement has been fully serviced by a certified watchmaker and comes with a 2-year mechanical warranty for complete peace of mind.

Fitted on a high-quality rally-style leather strap from our own collection, the watch is not only historically significant but also supremely wearable — a perfect daily driver that balances vintage charm with reliable performance.
