Omega Speedmaster ST105.012 — The Alpha Omega
For the 1966 production, two-thirds of the cases were produced by Centrale Boites and just one third by Huguenin Freres. If you’re not sure, check the inner caseback for the marking ‘HF’ or ‘CB’ that denotes the manufacturer.
WHAT’S SO COOL ABOUT OUR ST 105.012-65?
Our watch has the correct Dot Diagonal 70 / Dot over 90 bezel for a pre-1970 Speedmaster. Further it is a ghost DON bezel meaning that over the years it has faded from black to an amazing silver grey, and yet in strong light or through a loupe you’ll see the tachymeter markings are all totally intact.
The case on this watch is immaculate. We’re not going to say it’s unpolished as we feel that word is used a little too liberally nowadays, but it’s pretty damn close.
Hands are not original but still desirable as they are C2 Baton Flat hands in tritium that have turned an appealing shade of yellowish orange.

Our watch also comes with a Velcro NATO strap. And just cause we love you, we are throwing in a leather NATO strap.
