Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Full Steel Yellow Patina Original Step Tritium Dial (Unpolished)

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Ref. 145.022-69 with Original Step Dial and Patina

Omega, founded in 1848, stands as one of Switzerland’s most prestigious watch manufacturers, renowned for precision and historic achievement. The brand has served as official timekeeper for the Olympic Games since 1932 and equipped explorers and astronauts in humanity’s greatest endeavors.

The Omega Speedmaster, introduced in 1957 as a racing chronograph, achieved legendary status when NASA selected it as the official watch for all manned space missions after rigorous testing in 1965. It became the first watch worn on the moon during Apollo 11 in 1969, earning its “Moonwatch” designation.

The reference 145.022-69 represents the classic Speedmaster from the space program era, featuring the iconic manual-winding movement, black dial, and asymmetrical case design that has remained largely unchanged since the 1960s. Its tritium luminous material and plexiglass crystal are hallmarks of authentic vintage Speedmasters from this period.

The Speedmaster’s enduring appeal stems from its unique combination of tool watch functionality and space heritage, making it one of the most significant chronographs in horological history.

Key Details To Consider

This Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch reference 145.022-69 is presented in all-original, unpolished condition and remains a strong example of this highly regarded reference. The case features razor-sharp lugs and crisp edges, retaining its original factory finish throughout with excellent overall definition.

The watch is fitted with its original and period-correct black tritium step dial, displaying a warm yellow patina evenly developed across all hour markers, complemented by matching tritium hands. The luminous material reacts under UV light and emits a green glow that lasts briefly, consistent with original tritium. The bezel shows light fading and signs of age, adding character in line with the watch’s vintage profile.

The bracelet exhibits moderate stretch consistent with age and appears to be full length, currently fitting a wrist over 8 inches (20.5 cm). The movement was serviced in February 2026 and is running properly, with all chronograph functions operating as intended.
