Omega Speedmaster Professional Mark II
"The First Redesign"
1969
This streamlined Speedmaster Mark II signalled the first redesign of OMEGAโs popular chronograph. Created in 1969, it extended the Speedmaster line with a brand new look and was available in stainless steel, 18K gold, or gold-capped versions with various dial and timing scale combinations. The MARK II, with its barrel shaped case and enhanced readability, was also the first Speedmaster that did not use hesalite crystal. First used in 1968, the calibre 861 was the second movement introduced into the Speedmaster. Compared to the previous calibre 321, it had a simpler structure. Several updates were achieved through modifications including a flat balance-spring and a shuttle cam instead of a column-wheel, a change that provided greater consistency and a lower production cost. The balance frequency was raised to 21,600 v/h to improve precision and, from the early 1970s, the steel chronograph brake was replaced by a brake in Delrinยฎ, a low-friction polymer that improved the movementโs longevity.ย
Omega has constantly been defined by its pioneering spirit, demonstrated by its conquests of the oceans as well as space. Since 1965, the Omega Speedmaster has been worn on each of NASA's piloted missions including all six moon landings and many of historyโs greatest explorations beyond Earth. Omega also has served as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932. In watchmaking, Omegaโs history has been dedicated to a quest for perfection. This legacy continued in 1999 with the launch of the revolutionary Co-Axial escapement and, in 2015, with the worldโs first Master Chronometer.

5 Reasons for Vintage
Watches that only a few wearReason Nr. 1Nowadays, many high-quality watches are mass-produced. Vintage watches were often made in very small series with skilled craftsmanship instead of robots.
Quality that endures generationsReason Nr. 2In earlier eras, watches were designed to last forever, including the components.ย There is no such thing as obsolescence. That is what we consider quality at Zurichberg.
Polarizing and characteristic designsReason Nr. 3Today, only a few watch manufacturers can afford to launch polarising products and therefore produce watches that are aesthetically pleasing to all.
Value for MoneyReason Nr. 4Vintage watches are overall cheaper than new watches. This is because new watches fulfill the essential financial objectives for the manufacturers, whereas vintage watches are financially "depreciated", so to speak.
Longevity that feels greatReason Nr. 5We believe that in order to move towards a more sustainable future, it is absolutely necessary and logical to develop a sense for the quality of the past and to reuse products instead of producing new ones.
