Notes:

This reference CK2915-3 is the first Speedmaster with the black ‘base 1000’ tachymetric bezel. The black bezel was introduced on this model in 1959 in order to improve legibility of the tachymeter. The watch, with a 16 million serial number, is in excellent and all original condition and comes with an archives extract from the Omega museum. The dial, dagger counter hands and h/m alpha hands are original and the case is not over polished. This is an excellent example for this reference and is very rare and collectible.
