Omega Speedmaster 2998-61

The reference 2998 is one of the oldest and most collectable. With a relatively short production run that lasted from 1959 until 1962, the reference 2998 was produced with eight sub-references, each with their own list of subtle differences and variations.

Like all other reference 2998 Speedmaster watches, the reference 2998-61 is powered by OMEGA’s hand-wound, Caliber 321 movement and is considered the rarest and most highly sought-after among collectors today.
One of the defining characteristics of the reference 2998 Speedmaster is its 39 mm diameter case with straight lugs.
This feature combined with its smaller case diameter , a very rare “DON” bezel, original logoed ,and hour and minute hands with Alpha design makes for an unmistakably vintage appearance.
The dial is the last mark, in fact it has tritium lume instead of the former radium, used in the early mk, having been produced in late '62.

The Omega Speedmaster is among the most iconic and well-respected watches in the entire world, and the reference 2998-61 is very hard to find in such good conditions.
Our "pre-moon" is in spectacular condition, newly serviced, arrives complete with its rare 7912/6 elastic bracelet and the extract of archieves.
