This Omega watch is in overall great, honest vintage condition. The case is strong with scratches and some light nicks along the edges. The case appears to have been lightly polished. The bezel is in good condition with light wear and light scratches. It has an indentation on the side at two o'clock. This watch has retained its correct 24 tooth crown. The dial is in overall excellent condition with light patina. The lume on the dial has aged to an attractive pale greenish color. The hands are in great condition. The lume in the hands has aged to a similar color as the lume on the dial. When looking closely the lume in the hour and minutes hands have developed a bit of darker patina. The bracelet is in great condition with normal signs of wear and scratches; it has a bit of stretch which is not uncommon for this style bracelet. The crystal has some scratches and is signed with the Omega symbol in the center.
Omega produced the vintage Speedmaster Professional ref. 145.022 for several years between 1968 and the 1980s, during which several variations came to market. While there are many nuances between each variation, they all follow the same Speedmaster Pro blueprint consisting of a Tachymeter bezel, a chronograph movement, and three accompanying sub-dials. Ref. 145.022-78ST is a striking edition of the series produced in 1979. It features an even patina throughout the dial, a Hesalite crystal, and the caliber 861 hand-wound movement - the successor to the famous caliber 321. The dial is not a step dial Omega; it also sports a "Long S" in the Speedmaster logo. Flipping the watch over, the case back has the distinction "Flight-Qualified by NASA For All Manned Space Missions" circling the Speedmaster Seahorse medallion?just a few of the many details that make this edition of the Speedmaster 145.022 unique.
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

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!

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.

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...
