Every single year, the watch buying market is introduced to a bevy of new chronographs, each touting the ability to fill a void in a watch aficionado’s stable. Given that the designs and technology backing these watches are highly influenced by industry trends, their chances of becoming time-tested classics are often slim to none. This is why so many collectors choose to invest in heralded icons like the legendary Omega Speedmaster<\/a> or other models from the brand, that have no chance of going out of favor anytime soon.<\/p>\n

As you probably already know, the Omega Speedmaster Professional gained worldwide recognition when it became the first chronograph to reach the Moon in 1969 with the astronauts of Apollo 11. After that, it forever became known as the Moonwatch. Throughout Omega’s space-faring chronograph’s history, we’ve seen several significant Moonwatch references, including the ref. 145.022, which never made it to the Moon but was the Speedmaster Professional that officially took on the Moonwatch title.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look at what affords the reference 145.022 its reverence, and the various incarnations that have made it a vintage watch collecting mainstay.<\/p>\n
