The bracelet wears light and articulate\u2014true to the vintage Speedmaster experience\u2014while the overall watch condition reflects preservation over restoration. The pushers are the taller type, specific to this reference, and the case edges retain defined transitions, suggesting it hasn\u2019t undergone aggressive polishing. The hesalite crystal bears the correct Omega logo etching and reveals a dial that has aged gracefully, with creamy tritium plots and hands that match in tone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1863\">Behind the solid caseback beats the revered column-wheel calibre 321, a movement that remains one of the most celebrated manually wound chronograph calibres of the 20th century. As noted in the Moonwatch Only archives, the 145.012 was the reference worn by astronaut Michael Collins on Apollo 11\u2014a fact that underlines its collectibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"2287\">For collectors, the 145.012-67 offers a perfect trifecta: last of the Cal. 321 era, full adherence to period specifications, and a visual language that remains utterly timeless. With its flat link bracelet, untouched case architecture, and correct tritium dial, this is a piece that would hold its own in any serious Speedmaster collection\u2014and may well be the most accessible gateway into Omega\u2019s golden chronograph years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Waar wij van houden:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beautiful dial<\/li>\n<li>All period correct<\/li>\n<li>Great example<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wat je moet weten:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tenzij anders vermeld, worden vintage horloges meestal niet geleverd met doos en papieren.

Issued in 1967, this example is emblematic of the era that predated the Moon landing\u2014but carried every ounce of the mechanical pedigree that would go to the lunar surface. On the wrist, the presence is unmistakable: the straight-across stepped dial, applied logo, wide-spaced tritium markers, and the original DON (dot over ninety) bezel all tell the story of a reference that stayed faithful to its utilitarian roots.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":15407,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[29],"product_tag":[106,504,32],"class_list":["post-15595","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-archives","product_tag-speedmaster","product_tag-vintage-watch","product_tag-omega","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vintagemasters.eu\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/15595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vintagemasters.eu\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vintagemasters.eu\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vintagemasters.eu\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vintagemasters.eu\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vintagemasters.eu\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=15595"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vintagemasters.eu\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=15595"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vintagemasters.eu\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=15595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
