CONDITION REPORT: Excellent overall condition. The dial is in mint condition with no major damage visible. The tritium at 8 o'clock has slightly thinned over time but otherwise a stunning dial and hands. The case is worn, but crisp and the caseback logo is clearly visible. The bezel has faded over time to a stunning blue/grey color and has some natural signs of wear. The bracelet is an original 1039/516 dated 3.67.

Notes: According to the Omega Museum, this watch was delivered to Switzerland in May 1968 with this super rare racing dial. One of two versions of the black/red racing dials found on the 145.012 reference. This is the ‘Professional’ dial with the small registers. The reduced counters are only found on this particular dial configuration and not on any other Speedmaster before or after.

This watch was featured in the original Moonwatch Only (V1) book in which it is featured on page 459. It is also featured in The Ultimate Speedmaster Exhibition book on pages 60-61.
