Omega Speedmaster

About this reference

The Omega Speedmaster reference 2915-2 was produced between 1958 and 1959 as the second iteration of the original Speedmaster line. Collectors prioritize this reference for its transitional status, featuring the caliber 321 manual-wind movement and the "Broad Arrow" handset. The 39mm stainless steel case retains the symmetrical straight-lug design without crown guards and includes a steel tachymeter bezel, a feature unique to the 2915 series before the transition to black aluminum inserts. Rarity is high due to the short production window. On the secondary market, prices typically occupy the mid-to-high six-figure range depending on the presence of original components like the "Base 1000" bezel. A notable auction result occurred in 2021 when a tropical-dial 2915-1, the immediate predecessor sharing most 2915-2 specifications, sold for over 3 million USD, though standard 2915-2 examples generally command lower premiums.
