A rare and desirable stainless steel manual wind chronograph bracelet watch made for the Italian marketModel: Speedmaster Apollo SoyuzReference: ST 145.022, Limited Edition No.159Date: Manufactured 3rd May 1976, Purchased 29th May 1980Movement: 17-jewel Cal.861 manual wind, No.39181308Dial: Black, Apollo Soyuz logo at 12, luminous baton hour markers, white outer 1/5th second divisions, subsidiary dials at 3, 6 and 9 for seconds, 30 minute and 12 hour recording, white pointed baton hands with luminous inserts, centre secondsCase: Brushed and polished tonneau form, screw down back engraved Gemini Apollo Союз, shouldered crown flanked by twin pushers, tachymetre to bezelStrap/Bracelet: Fitted brushed 1168 Omega linkBuckle/Clasp: Signed folding claspSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 41mm Accompaniments: Receipt dated 29/5/80, Omega service case, Extract from the Archives, spare parts replaced during serviceFootnotes:On the 17th of July 1975, in the depths of the Cold War, space became the meeting point of two of the space faring nations, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Every Astronaut and Cosmonaut were equipped with an Omega Speedmaster Professional and in the case of Alexey Loenov, two. To celebrate this, in 1976 the Jeweller De Marchi of Turin took delivery of a group of special celebratory Apollo Soyuz watches with the mission badge on the dial and a special embossed case back depicting the Saturn Rocket on a map of the world. The back was also lightly engraved with the limited edition number, an I for Italy and an Ω.The present watch was bought new in 1980 at a large discount when it is possible that the Italian market was a difficult place to sell this particular piece. It was soon inherited by the present owner who left it unused in a draw for many years and only sporadically wearing it. For this reason, the dial is in excellent condition with virtually no UV damage. Very few of these original pieces were created and they have been celebrated ever since with anniversary editions being produced at 20, 25 and 30 years.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
