For the pleasure of sharing a recent find...
A watch I had never paid attention before, this Speedmaster Mk II ref 145.014 from late 1969 or beginnings 1970 made me fall in love at first sight.
This is the version equipped with a grey Racing dial. A bit funky indeed but so lovely I feel.
Same movement of the Speedy Moonwatch of that era is happily ticking inside: manual wind 861.
I know this is a favorite of my dear friend Art and hope he will approve.
Hope you’ll like these shots and watch!
Cheers! Abel
