The Omega Speedmaster is a legendary timepiece that has been at the forefront of horology since its introduction in 1957. It was famously worn by astronauts on several space missions, including the first mission to land on the moon in 1969. This particular watch – Ref 145.022-71 – features an 861 caliber manual-winding chronograph movement with 30-minute and 12-hour recorders, stainless steel case and bracelet, and black dial with luminous indexes, and was produced on September 22nd, 1975 before being delivered to the Netherlands.
