Speedmaster Teutonic SpeedyMoon Two Tone

In Context

At 43.75 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 60 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 45 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

TA 345.0810 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a white dial with a titanium, yellow gold case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

First generation Omega moonwatch movement with moonphase display. Made from 1985 to 1988.
