Specialist note
With Omega Certificate confirming production of the present watch in 1963 and its delivery to the company's agent in China.
This watch is from the second series of the Speedmaster Professional line launched in 1959 as reference 2998 which became ST 105.002 in 1962. The model differs from the first series (see lot 51 in this auction) by the Alpha hands, the tachymetre scale now in black aluminium and calibrated to 500-60 km/h instead of the previous "Base 1000 300-60 km/h".
The present watch stands out by its very good, original overall condition, still retaining the original crown featuring the old Omega logo, original bezel, the semi-extendable bracelet ref. 7912 stamped 3.62 and the original crystal displaying the micro size Omega symbol in the centre.
For a description and illustration of ref. ST 105.002 see Marco Richon's Omega - A Journey Through Time, p. 598 and John Goldberger's Omega Watches, p. 225.
