Speedmaster CK 2915 - The Grail Watch
Sometimes dreams do come true…
The rarest of the rare, the Speedmaster 2915 has long been on my wants list. This one has been sat in a draw since the 70’s, missing a bezel, replacement crown and maybe one incorrect sub hand. Apart from that it is as original as you are likely to ever see.
As you may be able to tell I am pretty stoked up about this watch, it is perfect, blows any Omega I own away. What it needs is some very sympathetic care to nurse it back to its full glory, once my excitement dies down a little I will start on that process.
For now…enjoy!
Update - Lots more pics added of the classic speedmaster 2915

Congrats OB,
Still prefer the 2998 thought ;-)
So is it off to who for conservation or renovation.? Let us know how it goes anyway.

Nope nope nope… The Grail” when talking to Speedmasters is the 376.0822… I coined the phrase back in mid-late 1999 as I became more and more frustrated at my lack of success at obtaining an example for my collection..
It talk more about “The Grail” in this post on TZOF:
