1969 Omega Speedmaster Mark II - Stainless Steel Black Dial

Details

A Radical Evolution For A Historic Name

The Omega Speedmaster Mark II emerged in the pivotal year of 1969, building on the Speedmaster's established legacy as the "Moonwatch." This reference, 145.014, represented a bold departure from the original Speedmaster's case design, introducing a tonneau-shaped, integrated case that was distinctly of its era. It offered a new aesthetic while retaining the core mechanical integrity that had made the Speedmaster a legend. This was Omega's vision for a modern Speedmaster, a direct descendant of the watch that went to the moon, reimagined for a new decade.

Orange Accents On A Racing Dial

This Mark II features a black dial with striking orange accents, a configuration that enhances its racing chronograph heritage. While the Speedmaster earned its space credentials, its roots are in motorsport, and this dial layout with its vivid color highlights speaks directly to that origin. The integrated tachymeter scale, protected by the crystal, is a hallmark of the Mark II design, offering both functionality and a streamlined appearance. It is a configuration that stands out, offering a pop of color against the otherwise monochromatic steel case.

An Honest Example Of A Transitional Design

This watch is in good vintage condition overall. The stainless steel case is in unpolished condition consistent with its age, and ready for regular wear. The crystal, which is original to the watch, has some scuffs. The bracelet is also stainless steel and offers a comfortable fit for a range of wrist sizes. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

A Daily Wearer With Space Legacy

The Speedmaster Mark II is an excellent choice for someone seeking a robust, historically significant chronograph that stands apart from the more common Speedmaster references. Its distinctive case design and vibrant dial make it a confident statement piece, while its manual-wind movement connects the wearer to the watch through the daily ritual of winding. It wears comfortably and offers a unique blend of Omega's space-faring heritage and 1970s design flair, making it an ideal candidate for a distinctive daily watch.

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
