The OMEGA REF. 145022-68ST is a vintage stainless steel Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch considered a "transitional" model because it was one of the first to feature the new Caliber 861 movement, while retaining the dial and case design of previous models with the Caliber 321 movement. Produced between late 1968 and 1969, it features a 42mm asymmetrical case, a domed hesalite crystal, a tachymeter bezel, and a matte black dial.
