This Mark II is in overall good, attractive vintage condition. The case shows normal signs of wear and has been polished. The "Speedmaster" text and hippocampus logo on the caseback are still visible with signs of wear and scratches. The inside caseback is stamped "145.014". The pushers show some wear. The crystal is an Omega service replacement. The dial is in great, attractive condition with light patina and some wear/ marks in the minute register that can be hard to notice. The lume on the dial has developed patina and aged to a lovely yellow color. The hands have developed patina, and the lume in the hands has darkened, which is not uncommon. The orange hands have developed patina and faded a bit.
Omega debuted the Speedmaster Professional Mark II reference 145.014 in 1969. It remained in production for just a few years before it was discontinued in 1972 in favor of the Mark III model. Omega kept the look of the classic Speedmaster dial but added "Mark II" text and housed it in a not-so-conventional tonneau-shaped case. Interestingly, Omega still used the caliber 861 that powered the classic Speedmaster Professional at the time. It was only the second Speedmaster movement, replacing the celebrated caliber 321 in 1968. Omega released several versions of the Mark II, including stainless steel, gold-capped, and solid gold models, and a stainless version with a matte grey "Racing Dial," like the example we have here. The Racing dial version is arguably the most sought-after and most striking design. Collectors seek these out because of the lovely matte grey dial and bright accent colors. The checkered design around the edge gives the watch its famous racing aesthetic.
Omega has reintroduced the "Racing" dial motif multiple times since the Mark II was introduced. A few notable models are the 2004 limited edition Omega for the Japanese market ref. 3570.40 (this is very similar to the colors used on the Mark II) and the 2013 Speedmaster "TinTin" ref. 311.30.42.30.01.004. Omega revived the Speedmaster Mark II in 2014 for its 45th anniversary with a modern racing dial version inspired by the original model.
I had to take a second look when I first noticed this watch. This is currently the centerpiece of my collection. Whenever I wear it out it always becomes a conversation peice.
I couldn't wait to receive this watch. I now have a reason to post on Instagram every Tuesday, haha.
Haven't been a collector for long, but this has always been my dream watch! So happy to finally own one. What makes this experience more amazing, the watch arrived on a night of a full moon! *mind blown*
I Love the look and feel of this watch. Happy that I purchased it.
Timeless look that can be worn formally or informally. I love that it came with so much more than just the watch. My daily wear was a Breitling Superocean, but I think this is my new one.
Bob's description of the watch as "excellent" was spot on The watch was a 2000 model, but looked brand new. Bob's customer service is EXCELLENT
-Extremely helpful during the buying process with answering questions. -The timepiece condition was even better than advertised. Being that the watch is 21 years old it’s basically fresh out of the box new. -price was aligned with market value. -overnight shipping was amazing

This is my second purchase with Bob's, previously bought a perfect datejust for my wife. This time it was an Omega Speedmaster for me, the watch is beautiful and the service excellent, the watch came to me in just a couple days, well packaged. It is a joy to purchase watches with them.
I loved the whole experience buying my omega speed master from Bobs watches. From start to finish. Great product. Great delivery. Great customer service. Would be more than happy to buy any future watch from this site
Overall, the experience was fantastic. The watch arrived and it was exactly as described. I look forward to buying another watch from Bob’s!
Seamless transaction....couldn’t have gone any smoother...watch is as represented...very satisfied
As easy as 1, 2, 3 ... received my watch in less than 24 hrs!
The watch is what I expected.
Excellent condition, exactly as advertised
Item just as described. Very fast shipping. Very easy and seamless purchasing process. Would buy from again.
The folks at Bobs we’re very responsive and even proactive in checking to see if everything was to my satisfaction. I needed an additional link or two and they sent them FedEx gratis. Super good people and the watch is fantastic.
Had a great experience with Bob's watches and my salesman, Max. Even through some uncontrollable circumstances, Max and Bob's remained true to their words and delivered a beautiful watch that makes me very happy. Highly recommended
Dear Bob's, This is a watch that sold out on day 1 of being issued. From time to time I would see it on Ebay. In all instances well over the initial price of $6500 US. Between the price and the potential condition issues, I was never able to pull the trigger. When I saw the watch of my dreams and read the details, I pulled the trigger. I knew it would be in like new condition because I sold Bob's one of my Rolex watches recently. The price paid was fair and Bob's was extremely picky about the condition. By the way, the price I paid for my new Omega was slightly less than the initial offering price. A price that represented an exceptional value. Thank You Bob's PS it arrived in perfect condition the following morning at 8:45
I saw the Omega Speedmaster Reduced on the website and it was described as excellent condition. Upon receiving the watch it was absolutely nothing less than that. I will recommend Bobs Watches to anyone looking for a high quality watch in the future. I can’t wait to buy another.
I was looking to buy a new Omega Speedmaster 145.022 but decided on this pre-owned Omega because the price was terrific. Very happy with this purchase.
Lots
Beautiful watch. Love the combination of polished and brushed stainless. This watch can be dressed up or down; excellent choice for those t-shirt days at the lake or with a suit for the office.
The watch is super nice perfect size 39.7mm.great for collection.I recommend Pre-Owned watch from Bob’s
I've wanted a Moonwatch for over 20 years since I saw one in a space magazine in elementary school. I finally own one and couldn't be happier. Using the NATO strap until I can get several links removed from the metal band, but oddly enough I actual really like the NATO strap...
