Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Tropical Brown Dial Heavy Patina Blue Insert 1969 (Serviced)

Omega Speedmaster 145.022-69 Tropical Dial (1969)

Omega is widely respected for its precision engineering, long-standing involvement in space exploration, and commitment to producing reliable professional instruments. The Speedmaster line, in particular, has become an icon due to its role in NASA missions and its enduring presence as a benchmark chronograph.

The Speedmaster 145.022-69 represents a key transitional reference in the Moonwatch lineage, combining the early design cues of the Apollo-era models with technical updates that shaped later generations. Known for variations such as step dials, dot-over-90 bezels, and unique aging characteristics, this reference remains highly sought after—especially examples with striking tropical dials that highlight the individuality and character of vintage Speedmasters.

Key Details To Consider

Very rare and fully original Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 145.022-69 in beautiful condition. The case was polished in the past by the previous owner yet still retains thick, sharp lugs that preserve the character of the watch.

The period-correct super tropical brown dial is stunning, featuring a deep, even transformation with heavy yellow patina across all indices and matching hands. The tritium still reacts under UV light and glows green. The dial presents even better in person than in photos.

The original blue bezel with dot-over-90 has aged attractively, taking on a rich blue tone that pairs perfectly with the tropical dial. The movement was professionally serviced in November 2025 and runs properly, with the chronograph operating exactly as it should.

This 1969 example features the correct flat case back, matching step dial, and original insert. It stands out as one of the most visually striking tropical Speedmasters encountered in recent years.
