Omega Speedmaster MK II Tropical

When NASA’s outer space missions to the moon were finished in 1969, the most significant purpose of the Moonwatch died… The goal was achieved, men walked on the moon and an Omega Speedmaster with it. What was next for the Omega Speedmaster with the 70’s knocking on the door?

The production of the Moonwatch went on, but with the new 861 caliber inside the watch case. Apart from this new hour work, Omega introduced a ‘new’ watch in 1969 as well. It wasn’t a real new watch though, slightly new was more appropriate and that is the watch you’re looking at, the Omega Speedmaster MK II. The 1970’s are known for their colourful and hippie fashion, and the Speedmaster was ready to go with this flow.

The MK II had a brand new case design. This watch case was bigger and bolder than any Omega watch case known at the time. In it lays the famous triple register Speedmaster dial which has an amazing patina! The black paint on the dial has turned into a deep brown colour over time through sunrays and temperature change. This brown ‘tropical’ colour is only being enhanced by the army green tritium indexes on the dial which have nice ageing as well.

The brown leather strap from our own strap-collection matches the dial perfectly but is changeable upon request!

‘Not all those who wander are lost..’ come and wonder into our store and let this tropical watch brighten your day.

All of our vintage watches have been carefully selected for you. Each watch is meticulously inspected on condition and originality. Furthermore, our watches receive a full service by our highly skilled and qualified watchmakers before hitting the store, so you can wear your special find with confidence. A statement we back up with a 2-year warranty.

With over two decades of experience in vintage watches, we have developed an eye for great quality and great stories. Because we believe every vintage watch tells a story through its unique design, history and patina. A vintage watch is a time-traveling device in that sense. A practical item for daily use, that connects us to something bigger than ourselves at the same time. In an age of single-use goods and quick consumption, a mechanical marvel that is designed to last for generations is quite simply a fantastic thing to have in your life.

At AWCo, we are a diverse team of watch experts, each with their own niche interests and expertise. From history buffs to tech geeks and style gurus, we all approach this beautiful passion from different angles. We operate under the mantra that every vintage watch is unique and so is every client. We get a massive thrill out of helping you find that one special watch that perfectly suits your personality, style and budget. To see you staring at your wrist with a big smile on your face, is what we get out of bed for.

So if you like what you are seeing here, give us a visit, a call or a message via email or Whatsapp. We are looking forward to helping you discover whether this is the watch for you or your loved one.
