It is always a great feeling to purchase a watch from the original owner as this fine 1968 Omega Speedmaster. This watch is a rare bird; as this was the transitional watch housing the caliber 861 movement having the raised steel logo dial which appeared on the caliber 321 only. For one year, this watch filled the gap before the moon watch came out in ’69 making it sought after by Omega collectors worldwide. This watch has the correct dot over 90 valuable bezel which has not been replaced with a more modern incorrect piece. The original dial with applied metal Omega logo looks spectacular. This watch has NEVER been polished and retains sharp lyre lugs and no major dings or scratches. All the lume is matching to the hands. Furthermore, the original 1039 flat link steel Omega Speedmaster bracelet also dating correctly to 1968 is included-full-length and very clean for its age. These bracelets are very valuable on their own. The watch is keeping excellent time and the chronograph function is flawless. I have priced this thousands less than others.
