We are very excited to be able to bring this watch to market for collectors. Here we have an ultra-rare Omega Seamaster Chronograph Reference 145.0023, coined the “Darth Vader” by late Omega authoritarian Chuck Maddox. The Vader is an incredibly scarce reference from the early 1970s that is seldom seen for sale. This Seamaster is powered by the Cal. 861 hand winding chronograph movement.
For a great write up with more information on this reference take a look at a great article published by our friends over at Wound for Life on the Vader and its cousin: http://www.woundforlife.com/2014/07/23/lessons-wristory-omega-seamaster-anakin-skywalker-and-darth-vader/
