I have never seen or owned a Mark II that is as pristine as this beauty. The whole chrono is in immaculate condition and recently overhauled/restored ( TZ rating I would be conservative to say 90- 95%) in February ‘08 by previous owner. I need to make room in my collection for 2 other pieces so I have to let this one go to a new home!
Based on Omega’s own serial number dating system - this is a 1969 production (Ref. 145.014, Ser. 28,xxx,xxx), the year that the MarkII was released. I will not go into the history of the MarkIIIchrono as, chances are, if you have read thus far on my posting you know it or will know where to go and read up on it!
MOVEMENT
The Mark II uses a Cal. 861 movement. It is the same 17-jewel movement that powered the contemporary Speedmaster Pro Moon Watch. The movement was completely and professionally overhauled on February 10, 2008. Winding is super smooth and accuracy rivals COSC standards! All chronograph functions work exactly as they should and the chrono hands zero precisely
CASE
Case dimensions as follows: 41.5mm in diameter w/o crown, 43.5mm with the crown; 45mm in length lug-to-lug; and 14.5mm in thickness. The inside lug-width is 20mm. The centre of the case back has the Omega seahorse engraved logo. For a chrono of this vintage, the case is in almost pristine condition
DIAL, HANDS & CRYSTAL,
The dial and hands are “”Brand-New Old Stock” (NOS) genuine Omega Mark II parts that were installed professionally during the recent overhaul. The lume on the markers and hands is very strong.
The crystal is in absolutely mint condition with no visible signs of contact. Unlike the Speedmaster Pro Moon, which has an acrylic crystal, the Mark II was manufactured with a more resilient sapphire crystal which is difficult to scratch or chip.
BRACELET
On the watch is an NOS Omega bracelet specifically for this model – reference 1162/173. A spare link will be with the bracelet.
A beautiful piece for a collector or for everyday wear. I have plenty of TZ refs, 100% positive ebay feedback and Watchnet "Good Guys" posting on request. Email or contact me for more pics of this vintage piece – NO Trades please. I will accept paypal with fee.
My price including shipping worldwide is 1,650 USD – will discuss offers.
Thanks for looking
George
