Essay
The Speedmaster reference 105.002-62 was produced for slightly more than a year between 1962 and 1964, with serial numbers ranging from 19.583.xxx to 20.525.xxx. It is estimated that Omega produced between 2’200 and 2’600 examples over this short period.
The present Speedmaster reference 105.002-62 was produced in 1963. The case retains strong proportions with well-defined lug bevels and sharp edges. The homogeneously patinated stepped dial gathers all the correct attributes for this reference, namely a low SWISS MADE script at 6 o’clock, long secondary markers to the minutes register, the expected gap between the applied Omega logo and the Speedmaster signature among other details. The watch is furthermore fitted with the correct set of alpha hands, comprised of a 10mm-long hour hand with triangular luminous groove and a drop-style seconds hand.
