1967 Omega Speedmaster 105.012-66 HF

The 1967 Omega Speedmaster 105.012-66 HF is one of the most historically significant Moonwatch references ever produced—the very case style worn on the lunar surface during Apollo 11. Built by Huguenin Frères (HF), this variation features the signature asymmetrical lyre-lug case with deeper, more sculpted contours than later models, paired with a beautifully aged stepped dial and tritium lume that has developed rich vintage warmth. Powered by the revered Caliber 321, this reference embodies the golden era of Speedmaster design and remains a cornerstone for serious collectors.

This example benefits from a recent full service, ensuring the legendary column-wheel 321 is performing with the precision and smoothness that made it famous. The watch presents with the authentic charm expected of a late-’60s Speedmaster while offering fresh mechanical reliability—making it equally compelling for regular wear or long-term preservation. Rare, historically important, and exceptionally well-sorted, this 105.012-66 HF stands as a standout opportunity to acquire one of the true icons of the Speedmaster lineage.

Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in Switzerland, Omega has grown into one of the most respected and innovative names in watchmaking. The brand’s early focus on precision earned it accolades at international observatories and competitions, setting the stage for decades of horological achievement. Omega became the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games in 1932, and in 1969, the Speedmaster Professional—nicknamed the "Moonwatch"—made history as the first watch worn on the lunar surface during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. Omega’s innovations continued with the introduction of the Co-Axial escapement in the late 1990s, a groundbreaking movement that dramatically reduced friction and improved long-term accuracy.

Omega’s lineup showcases a wide range of iconic models that reflect the brand’s legacy and versatility. The Seamaster, introduced in 1948, is a favorite among divers and famously worn by James Bond since 1995’s GoldenEye, blending technical capability with cinematic cool. The Speedmaster remains one of the most storied chronographs in existence, while the Constellation is known for its refined design and chronometric precision. The De Ville collection offers a more elegant, dress-focused aesthetic, often featuring high-end complications and meticulous finishing. Omega continues to lead with innovations like Master Chronometer certification, METAS testing, and antimagnetic technology—ensuring that its watches are not just beautiful, but built for the demands of modern life.
