We like to introduce you with this Omega Speedmaster from 1989 with beautiful pumkin coloured indexes…
Omega came out with the Speedmaster in 1957, and it has been constantly updating and upgrading the watch ever since. Here we have ref. 145.0022. This reference was the successor of the iconic ref. 145.022, which debuted circa 1968. The 145.0022 was in production from 1981 to 1989.
Omega began changing how they assigned reference numbers with this reference. For the 145.0022, they used the watch’s physical appearance to determine the number, rather than what was stamped inside the caseback. In fact, the inside of the casebacks were still stamped 145.022. This is a somewhat similar approach to Rolex, who would sometimes use casebacks from previous references for newer models. After 1989, Omega completely changed the way they determine reference numbers, starting to use the PIC (Product Identity Code) system that is still in use today.
This example has the recognizable 42mm case with twisted “lyre” lugs and is powered by manually wound caliber 861. It retains the great Speedmaster Professional look that has been around since 1967. These Speedmasters from the 1980s offer a great value.
If you are interested, we cordially invite you to see this beautiful watch on your wrist.
You will be amazed …
