Specialist note
The present watch is the white gold alternative to the previous lot. However, this model is much rarer as only about 20 watches in total were produced in this shade of gold. This incredibly rare Omega model, made between 1980 and 1981, is known as the first Speedmaster model ever made in white gold. The Whole collection went to Germany, as confirmed on the extract of the watch. On top of that it is important to note that the silvery-grey white gold dial is a very unusual display on the Speedmaster models. Only two models, including the present 345.0802, are known fitting this type of dial and some rare special order are recording this feature. Overall, this watch is offering a very large selection of highly collectible particularities making it so unusual and rare that it definitely is a highlight to enhance a beautiful and elaborated Speedmaster collection.
