Omega Speedmaster ref. CK 2998-5 on a vintage JB Champion (PAT 3.030.686)

The watch was sold on January 17, 1962 to Japan. It was one of the first "more serious" vintage watches that I purchased (a long time ago). Cheers, HSTE

This is an un-professional view on Speedmasters, if you know what I mean 🤓

Ah, a dream of a post for me! Thanks for showing those three wonderful watches! My ranking
