About this watch
Stock Number: 5124
A Must-Have for Collectors:
An Omega Speedmaster from the moon landing era is an essential piece for any watch collection. While options are plentiful, finding a truly special example like this one is exceedingly rare. This exquisite timepiece deserves more than just a passing glance; it’s a conversation starter and a testament to horological excellence.
Unique Bezel Character:
This standout piece features a rare and striking faded grey/blue "220" bezel, which completely transforms its aesthetic appeal. The "220" misprint bezel is particularly elusive, having left the factory for only a brief period towards the end of 1970. Collectors value this bezel for its rarity, making it a coveted asset for watch enthusiasts.
Significant Historical Engraving:
Adding to its allure, the case back of this Speedmaster is engraved to commemorate a landmark event: the Concurso Mundial 1972, a significant beauty pageant in Venezuela, which marked the first Miss Universe competition held in Latin America. Omega, as the main sponsor, gifted watches to the contestants, reinforcing its brand legacy of elegance and sophistication during the event.
Condition and Craftsmanship:
This watch shows honest signs of wear and carries age-related spotting on the dial, which appears more pronounced in photographs than to the naked eye. Importantly, the case retains its crisp lines, exhibiting no excessive polishing, thus maintaining its integrity.
Quality Strap & Movement:
The Omega Speedmaster is fitted with a new luxury handmade Italian leather strap, complemented by a stainless steel Omega buckle, ensuring both style and comfort. Powered by the renowned Caliber 861 movement, this watch has been recently serviced, operates flawlessly, and keeps time accurately—an assurance of Omega's commitment to precision.
