Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary PrototypeIt's Speedy Tuesday! A hard-to-find Speedy Tuesday, as we use a contribution from a single of our readers about his unusual Omega Speedmaster Pro with reference number 145.0077 / 345.0077. Roman from Croatia writes us the subsequent:Two unconnected events started this story.Acquisition of a white dial Speedmaster in January, 2005.The OMEGAMANIA auction in April, 2007.In 2005 I purchased Omega Speedmaster with with a white dial, Ref.No: DD145.0022 with a OMEGA 861 movement, Year of manufacture 1984. I wrote to Omega Switzerland to request some additional information regarding this watch.Here is the answer I've received from Mr.Jean-Luc Miranda, OMEGA Museum in February 2005.: our movement number is well relevant to a DD 145.022 (145.0022 200 exactly) that has been shipped to Germany on April 2nd, 1985(with steel/gold bracelet). The extension ?00" means gilt dial with rhodium-plated counters.Unfortunately you do have a white dial with no rofessional" marking on the dial. Furthermore the push-buttons and also the crown should be gilt, not steel. Consequently, you might have an inappropriate dial and push-buttons and crown"So I remained with all the mystery why someone would replace original parts like a dial, pushers and crown over a watch that appeared in an otherwise top condition. There was little I could achieve this I stopped seeking answers and hoped how the future might bring something.In February 2007, I had been present on the OmegaMania auction being located in Geneva from April 13 to April 15 in that same year. fake rolex Some well-known specialists from Omega could be there likewise and so i decided to take my white dialed Speedmaster by himself and request the expert's opinion on my small Speedmaster. I'd the great privilege in order to meet with Mr. Marco Richon, one of the former directors of the Omega Museum in Biel, and author from the "A Laugh out loud Time" book, the bible for Omega collectors. I explained the unsolved mystery of my Speedmaster DD145.0022 200 and Mr Richon made a decision to invite me for a diner with a few friends.During this diner, 8 persons were there, 4 Omega Vice Presidents, two big collectors, Mr.Richon and myself . I gave my cherished Speedy to Mr.Richon and he was surprised to view it on this dial too, so he passes it to the next expert at the table. As the watch was slowly circulating around the table, I pointed out that Mr.Richon was wearing an odd watch himself replica tag heuer stopwatch . A Speedmaster Professional in every its glory though with a date. And yes it wasn't the Ultimate goal Speedmaster, but a normal looking Speedmaster Pro 3570.50 but with to start a date aperture at 4.30.All I really could convey to Mr. Richon was that such a watch didn't exist. Mr.Richon smiled and said "Of course, it is among the prototypes for the 50th Anniversary Speedmaster." and gave it for me for just a closer inspection.I also seen that my very own Speedmaster finished its trip round the table and wound up to Mr Richon again. If you do discussion it had been figured that it had been most likely make fish an authorized Omega dealer in Germany ordered this specific dial in order to meet the wish associated with an important customer through among the dial manufacturers. This has been later-on confirmed by Mr. Richon, a little while after that meeting.However, I could truthfully not let the prototype walk out of my hands. It absolutely was stunning. Mr Richon noticed this and asked only want to trade this prototype watch in my white dial Speedmaster. Next morning I flew back in Croatia and the first thing Used to do once i arrived home would be to have a look a closer inspection in the watch.The situation back in the watch says the usual "FLIGHT-QUALIFIED BY NASA FOR ALL MANNED SPACE MISSIONS" and "THE FIRST WATCH WORN About the MOON". On top of that, it comes with a "NOT FOR SALES" engraving in the lugs. Unscrewing the truth back established that it genuinely had a silly movement at the same time, the Omega caliber 3301 which was also utilised in the Michael Schumacher Legend Collection and which is depending on the F. Piguet 1285 movement. Within the caseback had the numbers 145.0077 and 345.0077 engraved, which are the old-style reference numbers that Omega used. The movement number (or serial number) I ran across for the Caliber 3301 movement was 78 000 206 replica tag heuer grand carrera rs watches .In the long run, we realize that Omega used the latest models to the 50th Anniversary edition, the Speedmaster Professional reference 311.30.42.30.01.001 model limited to 5957 pieces and also this rare OMEGA Speedmaster 311.33.42.50.01.001 model limited to 1957 pieces.
