A particularly attractive and rare example of the Omega Speedmaster Professional reference 105.012-65, dating from circa 1965 and featuring a beautiful original tropical dial double-signed “Meister.” The additional Meister signature refers to the prestigious Zurich retailer through which the watch was originally sold in 1965, adding considerable historical interest and collectability to this iconic reference. The original black dial has developed a distinctive tropical patina over time, giving the watch a unique vintage character. The hands and chronograph pushers also appear to be original to the watch. The stainless steel case has been polished in the past and retains the unmistakable asymmetrical design of the early Speedmaster Professional. The watch is fitted with a later service Bakelite bezel, as well as a leather strap and stainless steel tang buckle, neither signed Omega. Inside is the legendary manually wound Omega calibre 321, a column-wheel chronograph movement based on the Lemania 2310 and celebrated for its historical significance and exceptional construction. The movement bears serial number 240XXXXX, consistent with the production period. There is no known service history. The reference 105.012 is particularly important in Speedmaster history, being the first reference to feature the “Professional” designation on the dial and one of the references worn by NASA astronauts during the Apollo missions. A fascinating and highly collectible vintage Speedmaster, combining the legendary calibre 321, a beautiful tropical dial and the rarity of an original Meister retailer signature.
