Omega Speedmaster

Founders Select While confidence has been down on pre-moon Speedmasters since some bad actors made an ugly scene out of a 2915 at auction a few years back, these great watches remain storied and special. This example dates to 1962 and is a truly rare variant - Reference 105.002-62. Featuring a straight lug case, Calibre .321 movement, Alpha handset and an incredible patina throughout, this watch will surely shine in the spotlight of returning - and highly justified - collector interest in the near future. -James Lamdin 3… 2… 1… Liftoff! Take a poll amongst wristwatch collectors, and we'd bet the consensus would be that there might be nothing more important or iconic in a watch collection than an Omega Speedmaster. Sure, chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona or the Heuer Carrera are classics - icons even, but neither can match the stature of the Speedy with regards to importance in history. In fact, arguably no watch can. This particular example, a 'transitional' Reference 105.002-62, dates to circa 1962 and features a gorgeous, evenly patinated matte black dial with an alpha handset, Omega's Calibre 321 hand-cranking movement - widely considered to be one of the most significant movements ever made and is nothing short of legendary - and a correct matching flat-link bracelet with a blade clasp. Everyone should own a Speedmaster at one point in their collecting endeavors. It's not only one of the most significant chronographs of all time, it is one of the most significant watches of all time. This special example just happens to be a collector-grade time capsule.
