OMEGA Speedmaster 4th Model, 42mm, Calibre 321 Manual-Winding Chronograph, 145.012
$15,950.00 NZD
OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Ref. 145.012 is one of the most historically significant vintage Speedmasters, representing the final generation powered by the legendary Calibre 321 before OMEGA transitioned to the Calibre 861. Produced primarily during 1967 and 1968, the 145.012 belongs to the celebrated pre-Moon era and features the classic 42mm stainless steel case, black chronograph dial, tachymeter bezel, and traditional Hesalite crystal that define the early Speedmaster Professional.
This example is particularly notable for its OMEGA Ref. 1039 stainless steel bracelet, one of the most desirable period-correct bracelets associated with vintage Calibre 321 Speedmasters. Produced from the mid-1960s into the early 1970s, the lightweight 1039 features distinctive flat folded links and semi-expanding links near the clasp. The 1039 is recognised as a correct bracelet for the Ref. 145.012 and adds considerable period character to the watch.
At its heart is the legendary OMEGA Calibre 321 manual-winding chronograph movement. Based on the Lemania 2310 architecture and distinguished by its traditional column-wheel chronograph mechanism, the Calibre 321 is one of the most celebrated movements in OMEGA history. The 145.012 was the last vintage Speedmaster reference to use the original Calibre 321, making it particularly significant amongst collectors.
