Description

There is something enticing about wearing purpose-built sports watch clad in precious metal. Were not sure if its the contradictory nature of the blend of themes, the rarity, or that certain inexplicable draw to a little bit a bling but whatever it is, it makes us feel like Tony Montana whenever we strap one on, and we like it
Well get back to the gold bit in a moment, but first a little back story on the Speedmaster Mark II:
The name "Speedmaster Professional" is synonymous with the exploration of space and is best known as the first watch worn on the moon, giving them some pretty serious credentials. It is arguable that Omega would probably have stayed in business and been just as popular if the original moon watch was the only model they ever made for the line. But they didnt stop there, and were glad they didnt. The years following the legendary Apollo mission saw the release of an expanded line of Speedmaster variants, known commonly as the "Mark" Series. Some of these watches were real flops on the market, and others werent. Regardless of their initial popularity, all are interesting timepieces and have a collector following today. Of these Mark Series Speedmasters, the one we get asked about most frequently is the first successor to the original Professional - the Mark II.

Mark II Speedmasters were the first radical departure from the traditional Speedmaster case, and instead of an exposed lug design, the Mk II was designed with a tonneau shape with hidden lugs. This gives the Mk. II a great profile and a very 70s look that is quite popular with enthusiasts today. A total of three variants of the Mark II were produced by Omega, beginning in 1969 - a simple black dial layout similar to the better known "Moon Watch" models, a grey "Racing Dial" with a colorful outer track, and a gold plated version featuring a gold tone dial and burgundy tachymetre ring. Take a guess at which version is the rarest All Mark IIs features the Calibre .861 manual winding chronograph movement, used by Omega in their Professional chronographs starting in 1968.

Gold-plated Speedy Mark IIs such as this example werent only the rarest execution of the model, but they are also the most difficult to find in good condition today. The oversize profile of the tonneau case was prone to damage and dings, and the bevels are easily worn away by careless over-polishing.

This particular example caught our eye as a true survivor, an excellent example with minimal case wear and decent plating, not to mention an absolutely stunning original dial As we found it, it was already one of the nicest gold plated Speedies we had ever come across.

Short of finding an untouched New Old Stock example, this is about as nice a gold Mark II as youll ever find. And unlike that mystical NOS find, heres one you could (and should) actually wear the hell out of
