Any Speedmaster Historians Here?

[duquephart]

Summer 1970 I was in Mohringen, Germany researching and shopping for a nice Swiss watch. On the short list was a chronograph advertised as "Die Uhr auf dem Mond war" ----- the Omega Speedmaster. Which reference do you suppose was most likely to be in the display cases back then?

I'd suggest 145.022-69 or 145.022-69SW, if it was "Die Uhr auf dem Mond war". Of course, a 145.022-69 didn’t go to the Moon, but it was the first to commemorate the fact that an earlier Speedmaster did.
