Dating to approximately 1983 this Speedmaster Tuetonic was made for the German market.

This model was quite ahead of its time in design terms, with its bead-blasted 42mm case and small lugs and sapphire crystal, it has a outer worldly look about it.

The watch in question is a grey variant, there was also a black and a bi metal version. I think the grey stands out for me. It measures 42mm and has these very cool bullet pushers.

The watch came paired with a integrated bracelet which is extremely comfortable and not overbearing for a fairly large watch.

The recent post covid integrated bracelet craze and AP overseas vibes keep this one in mind, especially as Omega didn't dare change the Omega Speedmaster until the 80s, and this watch definately paved the way for that change.

A very cool and interesting piece of Omega's lineage!
