Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph 145.022-76 Cal. 861

[luxuwrist]

Chances are you know the story behind what is arguably the most important and historically significant watch of all time. Luckily for enthusiasts, it's also quite easy on the eyes. A balanced tricompax layout, simple black and white color scheme, large hour plots and contrasting hands have made the watch not only a space travel icon but a design icon as well. Omega knows a good thing when they see it which is why the Speedmaster has gone largely unchanged since its 1957 inception.

The vintage models have seen a well deserved surge in popularity in recent years and supplies continue to dwindle as demand for this iconic watch continues to skyrocket. What we've got here is a solid, ready to rock vintage example that makes a great wearer. It's got great patina on the dial and the original bezel, which has a subtle charcoal colored fade.
