Notes
The present lot is unusual in that it bears the name ?Speedmaster Professional?, which was first used on the
Ref. ST 145.012. This is due to the delivery date, 1968, which is late for this reference. Omega no doubt
placed the most up-to-date dial on the watch at the time of delivery. It is extremely rare to find this
reference with telemeter scale.
Ref. ST 105.012-63
The ST 105.012 series of references was launched in 1963 and was the first ?Speedmaster? with the
distinctive asymmetrical case and lyre lugs.
