Omega Speedmaster Mark II 145.014 Cal 861 Vintage 1970s Serviced Bracelet

Used💍 Jewellery · Victorian–1980s

The edit · Jewellery

A used Omega Speedmaster piece of jewellery, from the 1970s. Nothing on a vintage jewellery tray was designed by committee. Chunky chains and carved cameos share the same handmade quality that modern production cannot copy.

The watch that went to the moon.

Founded in 1848 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Louis Brandt. Omega made the Speedmaster, the watch NASA certified for spaceflight in 1965 and which reached the moon on Apollo 11 in 1969.

Omega is the thinking collector's brand: deep history, real innovation, and prices that still trail Rolex while the quality matches it. Vintage Seamasters and Constellations are the sweet spot.

Why it's called that

Omega Speedmaster

Named for speed. In 1965 NASA certified the Speedmaster as the only watch approved for spaceflight, and it became the 'Moonwatch' after Apollo 11 in 1969.

What to look for

Check the calibre number on the movement against the caseback reference. A clean, unpolished case and an original dial carry a real premium.

Hallmarks tell the story. A clear maker's mark or metal stamp is worth more than a pretty setting, so turn the piece over before you fall for it.

How to wear it

One heavy piece beats three delicate ones. Mix gold with silver deliberately, and pin a brooch to a lapel slightly higher than feels natural.
