Buyer's guide

Buying a Omega Speedmaster

What to check on a vintage Speedmaster

Dial and hands against the era. A step dial belongs on a 321 watch; a flat applied-logo dial on a 1990s 861. Lume on dial and hands should have aged to the same shade. Service hands are white and bright; original tritium is cream and matches the plots.

Bezel. The dot-over-ninety bezel is correct on Speedmasters to about 1970 and was replaced at service for decades after; a correct DON bezel on a 145.022 from 1969 is worth real money, and a dot-next-to-ninety one on a 1965 watch is a service part.

Caseback and calibre. The inside of the caseback carries the reference; the movement serial dates the watch and should sit with the dial generation. A 321 in a 145.022 case, or an 861 in a 105.012, is a transplant.

Service parts. Crystals, crowns and pushers are consumables. A service dial, service hands or a replacement bezel should be in the listing's condition notes before you bid; here they are, and the verification report confirms them in hand.

What a Speedmaster costs here, by era

Where enough recent sales exist, each era above shows a typical range, built from dealer, auction and Grey Market sales for the references in it and rounded to a band. The spread is the widest on this site: a 2998 can be several times a 145.022, and within the 145.022 a 1969 transitional sits well above a 1985 tritium watch in the same condition.

Auctions here open low and run without a reserve, so a lot's closing price is whatever the room decides that week. The sold results on this page are what Speedmasters have actually gone for here, before the buyer's premium.

Frequently asked

Buying a Omega Speedmaster here

No. Every Grey Market auction runs without a reserve, so the highest bid when the clock runs out wins the watch. Bidding opens low on purpose; the price is set by the people bidding, not by a minimum the seller chose. Auctions run for seven days and extend briefly when a bid lands in the final minutes, so a last-second bid cannot close a lot before everyone has answered it.
