OVERVIEW

The Omega Speedmaster 69st is a transitional model produced from 1969-1971 and is the second Speedmaster to use the 861 caliber movement while being the first to have the printed logo dial Omega continued to use for the next few decades. This specific watch is unique for its 220 error bezel, which for a few months in the later part of 1970 Omega accidentally printed a batch of bezels with “220” where it should actually say “200”. So if you get the speed wrong on your next analog calculations you can just blame Omega.

This example is really as good as it gets for a watch that was actually worn throughout its life. Whoever owned it obviously enjoyed it enough to want to wear it all the time while taking great care of it, which is what makes a vintage watch absolutely amazing in my book.

CONDITION NOTES

CASE: Fantastic original condition and I’m confident enough to say that it’s never been polished before. The 220 Error Bezel is also in excellent shape with only minor paint loss. The original bracelet is also unpolished and is in superb condition.

DIAL & HANDS: Perfect dial and lume. The original hands have some dark patina spots for some added charm.

MOVEMENT: Pristine condition and running great. All functions are in ideal working condition.
