The Omega Speedmaster 145.012 was introduced around 1967-68 as a revamp of its predecessor, the ref. 105.012. Worn by astronauts such as Michael Collins (Apollo 11), Alan Sheppard (Apollo 14) and Tom Stafford (Apollo-Soyuz), this reference bears a ton of space-related history.
The Speedmaster 145.012 embarks the legendary calibre 321, a superb movement which Omega reissued recently.
