Notes

Known as the broad arrow to collectors, the 2915-1 was the first Speedmaster ever introduced over a short period of only about 3 years.
Kept in very good condition, the caseback still shows the thin Speedmaster engraving on the outer ring of the caseback as well as a very well preserved dial with matching patina to the indexes and hands. Still fitted with its correct semi-elastic bracelet with its short clasp, the movement is stamped OXG and 2 adjustments indicating its delivery to the US. With its late serial number it is among the last batch of 2915-1 produced.
