Omega Speedmaster 145.022 - ST 69 brown

On July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission, Buzz Aldrin became the second human to walk on the Moon wearing an Omega Speedmaster Professional. This event solidified the watch's reputation as the "Moonwatch."

The Omega Speedmaster is one of the most iconic chronographs in watchmaking history, particularly known for its association with space exploration. The reference 145.022-ST69, specifically, is significant as it represents the model that was part of the Speedmaster line during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Speedmaster Professional reference 145.022 was introduced in 1968. It was produced in several variations until 1980 and became one of the most recognized iterations of the Speedmaster line. The "ST69" designation refers to the model's specific production year, with "ST" indicating "standard," as part of Omega’s internal cataloging.

The 145.022-ST69 model typically features a black dial, a tachymetric scale, and is powered by the Caliber 861 movement. This manual-winding chronograph movement is known for its reliability and precision.
