MINTY~1970 OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MARK III~SERVICED

$0.69 Sale

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY IS A BEASTLY 1970 OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MARK III REFERENCE 176.002 RUNNING ON A LEMANIA BASED CAL.1040

 

  • CASE: THICK ASS ALL STEEL HELMET CASE IN CRAZY SHARP CONDITION.THIS BIG OL' BUBBA MEASURES A LARGE 41mm NOT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN, BUT SHE'S A FAT MAMA WITH A 16.5mm HEIGHT.  THIS THING HAS SOME SERIOUS WRIST PRESENCE. JUST TAKE A PEAK AT THAT GORGEOUS SUNRAY FINISH AND THOSE CRISP LINES. MINUS A SCUFF OR 2, THIS THING LOOKS LIKE IT CAME RIGHT OFF OF THE OMEGA ASSEMBLY LINE.

 

  • DIAL: IN MY OPINION, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST OMEGA 1040 CONFIGURATIONS. WITH ITS SUNBURST SILVER FINISH, BLUE ACCENTS, AND KILLER LEMANIA CENTRAL MINUTE TOTALIZER LAYOUT, THIS THING IS FRIGGIN' SWEET. THOSE BLACK HANDS REALLY POP AGAINST THE LIGHT COLOR DIAL, AND CHECK OUT THAT WELL PRESERVED TRITIUM. ORIGINAL GLASS IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH A FEW MINOR SHALLOW SCRATCHES.

  • MOVEMENT: THIS OMEGA RUNS ON THE OMEGA 1040 WHICH COULD BE FOUND IN MANY OF THE THE EARLY 70s OMEGA SPEEDMASTER AND SEAMASTER CHRONOGRAPHS AS WELL AS SOME CLASSIC PIECES BY NIVADA, SINN, AND TISSOT. IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES MAINLY DUE TO THE CENTRAL MINUTE CHRONO HAND WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST VISUALLY STUNNING AND FUNCTIONAL SETUPS. WATCH RUNS WELL, KEEPS TIME, AND THE CHRONO FUNCTIONS APPROPRIATELY. DATE IS QUICKSET. THIS ONE WAS JUST SERVICED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND IS RUNNING SMOOTH! 

THIS SPEEDY  IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL OMEGA SIGNED 22mm BRACELET IN CRISP CONDITION. BRACELET CAN ACCOMODATE UP TO A 7.5" WRIST. THE 70s IS REALLY WHEN OMEGA LET THEIR FREAK FLAG FLY. WITH THAT TOWERING HELMET CASE,  IT'S JUST A COMPLETE FEAST FOR THE EYES AND JUST A TOTAL BLAST TO WEAR. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE MOST UNRULY CHRONOGRAPH EVER MADE, I GOT IT RIGHT HERE, AND THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE. THIS WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO SIZED THE BRACELET WORE IT A HANDFUL OF TIMES AND THEN STORED IT IN A DRAWER FOR 5O YEARS. GRAB YOURSELF A TOTAL TIME CAPSULE PIECE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.
