Up for consideration is an exceptionally scarce Omega Speedmaster “Speedy Moon” Ref. ST345.0809 — Produced in extremely limited numbers—believed to be approximately 1,300 pieces between 1984 and 1988—this reference occupies a special place in Speedmaster lore as one of the rarest and most desirable moonphase variants ever created.

 

This example presents in truly outstanding vintage condition. It features the iconic four-register layout with moonphase and date display at 12 o’clock, framed by the classic black tachymeter bezel that defines the Speedmaster Professional line. The dial and tritium lume remain all original, with the plots ageing gracefully to a rich, warm yellow tone—an aesthetic that only untouched tritium can deliver.

 

Completing the watch is the highly sought-after 1447 “thick-link” bracelet with the correct Speedmaster-engraved clasp with 809 ends— unfortunately it's inner blade has been replaced during a service during the 90s. However the bracelet is in excellent condition.

We have been searching for a top-flight example of this reference for the better part of a decade, and it is with real pride that we can finally present this piece. Examples surface rarely, in this condition.

We are thrilled to offer a Speedmaster that will speak deeply to collectors—an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of the most elusive and charismatic models in the vintage Speedmaster family.

The watch is in excellent running condition, with original box, and even more scarce, it's original Caliber 866 instruction booklet and Caliber 861 instructions.
