3… 2… 1… Liftoff!

Take a poll amongst wristwatch collectors, and we'd bet the consensus would be that there might be nothing more important or iconic in a watch collection than an Omega Speedmaster. 

Sure, chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona or the Heuer Carrera are classics - icons even, but neither can match the stature of the Speedy with regards to importance in history. In fact, arguably no watch can.

This particular example, a 'transitional' Reference 105.002-62, dates to circa 1962 and features a gorgeous, evenly patinated matte black dial with an alpha handset, Omega's Calibre 321 hand-cranking movement - widely considered to be one of the most significant movements ever made and is nothing short of legendary - and a correct matching flat-link bracelet with a blade clasp. 

Everyone should own a Speedmaster at one point in their collecting endeavors. It's one of the most significant chronographs of all time. This watch also happens to be a very special example.
