FS: SUPERBE OMEGA SPEEDMASTER PRO 145.002-69 "STRAIGHT WRITING"

I am selling with some regrets this fantastic and RARE Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022-69 "STRAIGHT WRITING".
"This was Omega’s first response to the Speedmaster’s involvement in 1969 Moon landings." There are actually three different versions.

I bought this watch from another well respected member from this community.

The watch is in an exceptional good condition. All parts are the original that came with the watch when sold new.

Case very sharp seems to be untouched and has only some very minor hairline scratches that are very hard to see with the naked eye.

The engravings on the caseback look as when new. Very often they are almost gone over time. That is not the case here only the black painting.
( please note there is a plastic sticker on the caseback to protect the engravings ).

Bezel has faded to a lovely grey/blue color and though it has some scratches it is in very good condition.

This bezel has the dot next to 90 ( DN90 ) which is correct for this watch.

Original plexy in very good condition with the Omega logo visible (see on pictures 11 & 12).

The stepped dial is in extremely good condition. I would not call this a tropical dial though it is not the original black.
The color has started changing to a very dark chocolate.

Hour markers are 100% original and have a superb beige colour.
Lume of the hands have a greenish color I am very fond of.

Mechanically the watch is perfect after a full service. Keeping very good time, great power reserve. Chrono working as it should and resetting perfectly.
Pushers are very clean and crisp.

Watch comes on brand new brown strap from Heuerville
