An iconic Omega Speedmaster Pre-Moon Ref. 105.012, dating to 1965 and powered by the legendary Omega Calibre 321. Produced before the Speedmaster became officially known as the "Moonwatch," the 105.012 is one of the most historically significant references, famously worn by NASA astronauts during the Gemini and Apollo programs.
The 40 mm stainless steel case was manufactured by Huguenin Frères (HF), one of Omega's most renowned case makers. The characteristic lyre lugs and the correct HF stamp inside the caseback make this an authentic and highly desirable example for collectors.
The watch retains its original DON (Dot Over Ninety) bezel, original "T Swiss Made T" tritium dial, and beautifully aged tritium lume. The dial has begun developing a subtle tropical brown hue, giving it exceptional warmth and character. Completing the watch are the original Omega signed plexiglass, signed crown, and the correct original chronograph pushers.
Inside beats the legendary Omega Calibre 321 manual-wind chronograph movement, regarded as one of the finest chronograph movements ever produced. The watch is fitted with a handmade black leather strap crafted in Belgium and finished with its original Omega pin buckle.
