The Omega Speedmaster Ref. 145.022 is one of the most important references in the Speedmaster lineage, carrying forward the legacy of the Moonwatch while introducing the calibre 861 movement.
But examples like this are rarely seen.
This 1983 piece is defined by its condition and completeness. It presents in what can only be described as near untouched condition, with original blue case stickers still present on both the case and caseback, alongside the original red caseback seal. These details are almost always lost over time, making their presence here a clear indication of just how little this watch has been worn.
The dial is classic Speedmaster. A deep black surface with tritium lume to both the dial and hands, offering that warm, slightly aged tone collectors look for in vintage examples. The layout remains perfectly balanced and instantly recognisable.
The 42mm case retains its sharp lines and proportions, exactly as it should. It has not been softened or over polished, and combined with the original stickers, it offers a rare opportunity to experience a Speedmaster in incredibly preserved condition.
Inside sits the Omega calibre 861 manual wind chronograph movement. A robust, reliable and historically significant movement that powered the Speedmaster through decades of production and into its modern era.

Why Buy This Watch
Vintage Speedmasters are widely collected, but condition and completeness are what truly separate examples.
To find a watch of this age retaining its original stickers and caseback seal is extremely uncommon. It offers a glimpse into how these watches originally left the retailer, something most examples can no longer provide.
Combined with a full set including papers and archive extract, this becomes a highly compelling collector’s piece.
Every watch we sell is supplied with bespoke Watts On Watches packaging, full documentation and a 12 month warranty as standard.
