All of the look with none of the fuss. That's the draw of the transitional Speedmaster, the short lived reference and the first to use the Omega caliber 861. Trade your column wheel for a cam and your spear-tipped seconds hand for a square tip and that's all there is to differentiate between the two. As 321 powered Speedmasters continue to explode and as part supplies keep dwindling, the 145.022-68 fills the gap perfectly. This reference continues to be a great value and we're proud to offer this great example with its gorgeous dial and in mostly untouched condition.
