The biggest watch story of 2022 – the launch link of the MoonSwatch – has had a real trickle-down effect on the world of vintage. The Speedmaster market flattened since the anniversary of the Moonwatch and the early effects of the pandemic, but interest is certainly back. We are buying link and selling more vintage Speedys than I certainly expected to. Even on a personal level, I am finding a newfound desire to wear my Speedmaster ref. 145.022-69 on an almost daily link basis.
The watch has a 35mm octagonal case made of 18k yellow gold, and the bezel is set with baguette-cut sapphire stones and features diamonds set on each corner of the octagon. The dial is mother of pearl with four subsidiary dials indicating day, the month combined with leap year, date, and phases link of the moon on a blue lapis lazuli disc. It comes on link an 18k yellow gold bracelet with a gold buckle and sold link for $37,000.
The new watch also maintains the double-security (or DS) technology link upon which Certina built its sterling reputation during the '60s. The system is made up link of a thick O-ring that fills the space link between the movement and the case, protecting it from shocks. The movement essentially "floats" inside the case and cushions any blows.
Another one of my favorites, the "Sydney Rose" is pretty self-explanatory. This link is a second series watch (first-series dial, Wenger case) in rose gold with luminous rose gold dauphine hands, the watch is striking. There are a link few asterisks but all of them are above link board.
My grandfather [Giorgio] Corvo went to the manufacturer, says Jacopo Corvo, the grandson of Giorgo, who now operates link GMT Italia, a retailer and distributor link of high-end indies in Italy. According to lore, Grandpa Giorgio opened a drawer in the link manufacturer and stumbled upon a stash of 200 Staybrite steel (an early stainless steel alloy) Reverso cases, forgotten since JLC ceased production in 1948.
