Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding my cal. 321 Speedmaster Pro...
(it's the one on the left)
It has the case and movement of a 1964 Speedmaster, but the Professional designation on the dial dates from 1966, at which point the case switched over to the style (crown guards, shouldered lugs) that we know today. The dial has the silver applied Omega symbol, which was only on the Professional dial for a short time.
The crystal is signed Omega, but is flat, unlike the domed acrylic piece on the current Speedmaster Pro.
I checked it in the new Speedmaster book with Mike Gacki at Kenjo, and it seems to be "the missing link" between the 1964 and 1966 Speedmasters.
Is this a hybrid piece, with Omega putting a new "Professional" dial on the last of the old movements and cases, or is it more likely that the dial and crystal were replaced later?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Jim
