Founded in 1848, Omega has been at the forefront of Swiss watchmaking—renowned for its precision, innovation, and pioneering role in space exploration. As the first watch worn on the Moon, the Speedmaster has become one of the most iconic chronographs in horological history.
This Omega Speedmaster Professional Ref. 145.022, produced in 1985, is powered by the robust Caliber 861—introduced in 1968 as the successor to the legendary 321 movement. The 861 retained NASA-certified performance while offering improved reliability and serviceability, marking a new chapter in the Speedmaster’s legacy.
Of particular note is the dial configuration: this example features the rare and highly sought-after “long S and R” print, found in the final production years before Omega transitioned to newer dial variants. The dial, with its deep black tone, is made even more captivating by the warm hue of the aged tritium on the hands and hour markers. The condition of this Speedy is museum-worthy and truly close to new.
