Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch

The Omega Speedmaster Professional is one of the few watches whose legacy rests on real exploration, not storytelling. Born in 1957 as a racing chronograph, it became an icon in 1969 when it accompanied Apollo 11 to the Moon. Among modern-era references, the one truest in spirit to the 105.012 and 145.012 is this: the Speedmaster Professional ref. 345.0022 — a configuration produced in the 1990s and 2000s that preserves the Moonwatch DNA without embellishment.

This 2005 piece stays loyal to the original recipe: Hesalite crystal, solid caseback, and the unmistakable 42 mm asymmetrical case. Inside beats Omega’s hand-wound caliber 1861, the rhodium-plated evolution of the 861 with refined finishing and an additional jewel — a movement born from the legendary Lemania architecture.

The matte black dial with Luminova hands and markers, the tri-compax layout, and the steel bracelet complete the classic Moonwatch silhouette. Discontinued and increasingly sought after, the 345.0022 with solid back offers exactly what Speedmaster purists value: authenticity, robustness, and zero distractions.
This example is in excellent condition — crisp, clean, and mechanically verified.
