Speedy Tuesday - Omega Speedmaster 105.012-66 RacingSpeedmaster 105.012-66 RacingWhen Omega designed the Speedmaster in 1957, watches it was actually can be a sports chronograph. That it was a time when there wasn't any connection with space yet, and Omega introduced their Seamaster 300, Railmaster and Speedmaster, as replica watches for 'professional' use. Racing ModelsEven the Speedmaster was linked with space since the mid-1960s, the connection with sports, racing in general, stayed. Recent Speedmaster racing replica watches include things like the Speedmaster Tintin (was introduced as a Speedmaster Racing), the 2004 unique for your Japan market not to mention a bunch of Michael Schumacher editions (the rarest one can be obtained here). However, long time ago, there are and a several Speedmaster Racing models. Not just the most prevalent one, the Speedmaster Mark II with racing dial, but the regular Speedmaster pre-Professional with racing dials.Due to this week's Speedy Tuesday, we have now the Speedmaster 105.012-66 Racing for you to show.No Definitive AnswersThere are a number of questions concerning the Speedmaster Racing replica watches. While there may be more 'known' around these Racing models than, let's pretend, the Ultraman models, there isn't a 100% finished story on these replica watches. Yet.Second GenerationEven the Speedmaster bible, the Moonwatch Only book by our friends Rossier and Marquie do not have definitive story around the Speedmaster Racing. The Speedmaster 105.012-66 Racing we have here isn't even mentioned for an existing configuration of their book. That may alteration of the long term though, if and when they is going to do an update. Moonwatch Only references the 105.003 and 145 patek philippe prices .012 with racing dial, and a 145.022-69 with a racing dial.In 1968, you will find a prevalent volume of special dials that had been delivered within the caliber 321 models (105.003, 105.012 and 145.012). Some times even non-Professional dials in Professional cases (with crown guards). While using end on the output of the caliber 321 movement, and these dials improperly fitting caliber 861 movements (because of the whole feet around the backside in the dials), Omega pushed these special dials in 1968 to generate room for your successor movement, caliber 861. The racing dials with the caliber 861 Speedmaster models were delivered between 1969 and 1971.Printed LogoThis Speedmaster 105.012-66 Racing comes close to the primary generation of racing dial Speedmasters, with red indexes and hands along with an applied logo. However, this Speedmaster 105.012-66 Racing incorporates a white printed logo within the dial. Within the Moonwatch Only book, the authors mention the 145.012-67 and 145.012-68 with a much the same configuration because the 105.012-66 we have here. They label this the other generation (another generation is the one by using orange on the dial likely hands).Racing - Extract of the ArchivesThe story of such vintage Speedmaster replica watches with racing dials will hopefully be carried out in the long run. The advantage of this particular watch, is that Omega recorded into their archives it was subsequently delivered using this type of red racing dial in 1967. Personally I'd personally only buy these kinds of replica watches (whether it be racing, Ultraman or radial dials) if you find some type of provenance that they left the factory in Bienne this way. Only then this watch similar to this has added value to me, maybe a few (calculated) exceptions aside.105.012As you can observe for the extract in the archives above (click here for our full story on what these Extract with the Archives are produced), Omega provides facts about the reference number (without -66 though), date of production (October 9th 1967) as well as the destination of the watch. Distributor A. Fischer's Erben in Zurich, Switzerland. We made the serial number invisible within the image, needless to say.No PrototypeThe undeniable fact that Omega shipped a watch such as this to just one with their distributors, allow it to become quite confident that this racing configuration hasn't been a prototype watch. Perhaps there were some prototypes of the racing dial models, however, when they ship these phones distributors in order to get sold, there can't be any question of your prototype watch. It may happen to be a particular request by a customer (or distributor) though. Omega heard these requests before, hence many of the limited produced Speedmasters that went to Germany, Japan and Italy or for example the ACP models.DetailsLet's focus on some information this watch. As said, the red indexes and red hands have been utilized on the initial generation of racing dials as well, as possible observed in Moonwatch Only (105.003 and 145.012), but those provide an applied logo on the dial. Your second generation share the same dial lay-out, though a printed Omega logo for the dial. You'll notice that the primary generation pieces have zero T's around Swiss Made. This Speedmaster 105.012-66 Racing has "T Swiss Made T" on the dial, making reference to the application of tritium. The chronograph seconds hand has got the small drop on the short end, that makes it time-correct.Another interesting detail may be the dimensions of the registers, they're small the registers on regular (and then racing) dials.Step DialThis Speedmaster 105.012-66 features a step dial, as shown around the picture. The yellow-ish hour marker stops exactly near the step-dial, to become totally red from there on until rehaut. Amongst the hour markers, you will find the racing flag pattern in the minute markers.Red HandsOpposite towards the later Speedmaster Racing models with orange markers and hands, the chronograph hands are all-white within this Speedmaster 105.012-66 Racing. Both your hands that indicate time, like the small running seconds, are typically red.This excellent watch incorporates a time correct Dot-Over-Ninety bezel (DON or DO90) plus a plain 'Seahorse' caseback without the need of NASA related engraving. The 105.012 case is made by Huguenin Freres SA (HF). Several of the 105.012 are created by La Centrale Boites SA (CB), usually a much more sought-after.Some ThoughtsI probably have rubbed many people the wrong method with many from the statements about originality and traceability I've made. That's how I experience it. This type of instance of a Speedmaster racing dial has provenance by Omega, which definitely is smart when spending so much money these beauties . In which a bundle of money is involved, men and women turn up that do not have the most effective intentions for the wallet. It's a pity for the collector's community omega moon watch , but that's how it operates. Luckily, a brandname like Omega recorded a number of the essential things, issues that matter today, and for that reason this Speedmaster 105.012-66 Racing might be traced back to the actual way it left the factory in 1967.With that being said, this Speedmaster with racing dial is amongst the nicest models I've ever seen in the flesh. Although link between the Speedmaster along with the space program is stronger, the racing heritage relates to the outer lining sometimes when pieces such as this appear.Roy and Sacha Davidoff in Geneva enabled us to look at pictures of this watch, owned or previously owned by them.
