For sale is my lovely vintage Omega Speedmaster 105.012-66 CB case pre moon, cal 321. This is a really nice one, and it pangs me to see it go... It isn't a pristine example, but one which has been worn and has all the mellow charm of a 50 year old watch. As I'm sure you are aware, it was the 105.012 reference that has been verified as being worn on the Apollo 11 moon landing, and in this the 50th year, makes an excellent watch to buy to wear, or keep as an investmen...t. There is a great article here on these, including about the unique case (scroll down to the bottom of the page)

The dial is correct as is the DON bezel which has faded to a beautiful grey, almost purple colour. The watch has as far as I can tell, the original pushers, crown, plexiglass, and hands. The case is in good condition, and it doesn't appear to have been polished, or if it has, then very lightly. The "lug facet" lines unique to this case are still present. The dial has faded a little to dark grey almost brown. The lume glows a little under light and then fades, with the exception of the tip of the chronograph hand, which glows longer and so I assume was relumed more recently. Please also note: the letter "T on the right hand of T Swiss Made T at the foot of the dial is missing a small bit of lume, and the dial indices tips are also missing lume, caused I believe by the lume shrinking over the years. The movement seems clean and runs well, and it was last serviced in 2012
It comes with the original "high top" red Omega box, and on a nice new classy saffiano leather strap, I will also include a tan racing strap as shown in the photos. Best of all, it also comes with an Extract of the Archives, Omega's record of watches produced. It shows this was made in August 1967 and originally sold in Italy.
It is keeping good time, winds smoothly, and all functions and buttons work as they should, the previous owner had it serviced around 2012, as it is a vintage watch I would recommend you consider a service in the next few years. In line with all vintage watches, there is no guarantee that it is waterproof, and I suggest you have it pressure tested if you want to confirm - although as a vintage watch I recommend not going into water with it.
An extremely reluctant sale, it is being resisted as the previous winner didn't pay. I'm selling to make space in my collection, and help fund a house move. It is offered with low start, and no reserve and I'm willing to consider sensible offers. It comes with full money back if not happy. It will be sent via free UPS Insured, Tracked and Signed For in the UK, and non UK shipping will be via eBay GSP, or if this isn't possible, then via UPS Fully Tracked and Insured, in which case buyer is responsible for all customs and import taxes. Bidders with zero or no recent feedback please contact me first.On 14-Jul-19 at 19:59:27 BST, seller added the following information:Added photo of caseback - a few expected scratches as can be seen, but otherwise good
