Created to celebrate the brand’s 125th anniversary, it holds the distinction of being the first automatic chronograph chronometer ever produced by Omega—an achievement that makes this model highly sought after among collectors of vintage Speedmasters. Production numbers were extremely limited, adding to the exclusivity and desirability of this rare commemorative piece. Drawing from the technical foundation of the Speedmaster Mark III (introduced in 1972), the Speedmaster 125 incorporates an enhanced and more sophisticated evolution of Omega’s pioneering automatic chronograph movement. One of its most fascinating engineering features is its two‑part modular case construction. The movement, dial, bezel, and crystal sit inside a self‑contained round inner case, which then locks into the robust outer case and is secured with an O‑ring gasket. This design creates a fully interchangeable module—an approach also used in the Speedmaster Mark V, though that model features a tonneau‑shaped case. Bold and unmistakably substantial, the Speedmaster 125 is known for its oversized, heavy, and chunky presence. Measuring 51mm x 42mm, with a thickness of 15mm and a weight exceeding 180 grams, it delivers serious wrist presence. Its integrated bar‑link bracelet further contributes to its mass and distinctive aesthetic. The dial showcases an applied Omega logo, echoing the style of earlier vintage Speedmaster references. This reference remains a standout piece for enthusiasts seeking a historically significant, technically innovative, and visually commanding vintage Omega chronograph. Enhancing its legacy, the Omega Speedmaster 125 carries authentic space‑flight heritage. In 1978, Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov wore this model during a 145‑day mission, securing its place among the rare commemorative chronographs that have journeyed beyond Earth’s atmosphere. This blend of limited production, technical innovation, anniversary importance, and proven space‑tested reliability ensures the Speedmaster 125 remains a remarkable and often underappreciated Omega reference—a must‑consider piece for collectors in search of a historically significant vintage chronograph.

One of the best experiences I ever had with a seller on ebay. The watch was acquired, authenticated and on my wrist in four business days. Seller was a pleasure to work with. Seller wrote an original description (not generated by AI like so many now are); replied promptly and courteously to questions; and lightning fast shipping to the authenticator. Everything arrived exactly as described and seller even sized the bracelet for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to do business with seller again.
The watch was exactly as described, shipped quickly, authenticated with no issues, well packaged, and even included a 2yr warranty card. Upon inspection, the watch condition was superb and I was pleasantly surprised. The seller accepted my reasonable offer very quickly and I simply couldn’t ask for more in this transaction. I’m very much looking forward to future purchases! A++++ transaction!
Quick shipping, watch was as pictured, jubilee bracelet links were tight. No service history (none was expected) but my timegrapher app shows it within COSC specs, for what that's worth. Came with a nice box and bag that are worth keeping or could be gifted. They do have eBay branding, but it's not very distracting. Also included were InterWatches warranty card and eBay authentication card.
