The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Ref. 145. 022 represents one of the most enduring chapters in the history of the legendary chronograph worn during the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. Introduced in the late 1960s, the reference 145.022 continued the tradition of the Speedmaster Professional that had been officially qualified by NASA for manned space missions, cementing its status as one of the most iconic tool watches ever produced.
This 1993 example retains the classic configuration collectors seek: a tritium dial with beautifully aged luminous material, developing a warm and consistent patina across the hour markers and hands. The dial remains perfectly balanced, with the traditional tri-compax chronograph layout and tachymeter bezel that have defined the Speedmaster aesthetic for decades.
The watch is fitted with the correct 1472/812 steel band, offering excellent comfort and period correctness. The indexes show a remarkable patina, giving the watch the vintage character enthusiasts appreciate while preserving the crisp design that made the Speedmaster a timeless reference.
Powered by Omega’s legendary manual chronograph 861 movement, this Speedmaster represents the pure Moonwatch experience: robust mechanics, historical significance, and an unmistakable design that has remained virtually unchanged for generations.
