The particular Vintage OMEGA Speedmaster CK 2915-1

This particular Vintage OMEGA Speedmaster (CK 2915-1) was made from stainless steel and features a black dial with broad arrow hands and a high-quality internal caliber. The watch has paperwork to prove a build date of June 6, 1958. More replica Omega Speedmaster.

A major factor in its astronomical price was the original, unpolished condition of the timepiece. It’s almost impossible to find one with its original dial as well. The promenance of the watch, combined with the fact that the prior owner found it sitting in an attic, created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a discerning watch collector. The selling price is sure to set precedence for other non-exclusive watches that share a similar age and condition across different manufacturers.

OMEGA has been on a great run this year, introducing special edition watches like this one for one for 007 himself. Although the James Bond watch was a Seamaster, its extremely limited release is sure to make it a similarly sought-after watch in the years to come.

The Speedmaster comes in eight different editions, from a basic Co-Axial Chronograph to a special Anniversary Limited Series. There are even two models that pay tribute to the 1957 edition of the watch, replicating the model year’s timeless design seen then (and resembling the 1958 model).
