Omega Speedmaster Professional
Reference: 145.022-78
Serial # 44,818,xxx (1979 - 1982 date range)
Caliber: 861 (17 jewel w/ Delrin brake)
Period Correct Components: This example checks all the boxes for period correct components as defined by Moonwatch Only, starting with the serial # on caliber 861 movement, dial, bezel, tritium hands, caseback, crown, pushers, and bracelet.
Aesthetic Condition: One very small scratch on the Hesalite, in the lower left quadrant of the Omega signed Hesalite crystal. The hour markers on the dial have developed a beautiful warm patina. The hands appear to be original behave similar to the lume on the dial when exposed to UV light. The case is in good condition for it’s age. As can be expected for a 40+ year old that's been carefully worn and enjoyed, there are some small hairline scratches and swirl marks on the case, and one small flea bite on the upper right lug. There are no dings or dents in/on the bezel. The bezel insert has some damage visible on the black enamel at the 70 & 75 tach markers. The caseback metal is in nice condition, no signs of any caseback tool slippage/scratches. There is some loss of enamel in the letters on the caseback. The 1171 bracelet is in good condition as well, with no major scratches on the links or clasp.
Mechanical Condition: The movement appears to be healthy, running +6 / sec per day with an amplitude of 260 degrees in the dial up position. The chronograph functions (start, stop, and reset to "0") are all in good working order. The crown winds with a bit more resistance than other older Speedmasters I've handled.

Fitment: will fit up to an 8 inch wrist.
