Ref. ST 145.022 (ST 345.0022)
An extremely rare and highly attractive stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with black dial, tachometer bezel and bracelet, engraved Khanjar (crown and crest) emblem on the caseback, made for the Sultanate of Oman.
The present Omega Speedmaster, encased in steel, is an absolutely exciting example of Omega’s iconic model due to its Royal provenance. Crisply engraved on the caseback are the highly coveted “Khanjar” daggers, the national emblem of Oman. The Sultan of Oman, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, is a well known collector and horological enthusiast, and specially commissioned watches to be given as gifts to loyal servants and foreign dignitaries. Timepieces with this emblem are extremely sought after, and due to their rarity, few appear on the market.
According with omega archives, the Speedy khanjar, has been produced in 10 pieces only, this one is the first made.
As the Extract from Omega’s archives confirms, the watch was delivered to Oman in 1991.
