Omega Speedmasters are plentiful, that is especially true of the "Post Calibre 321" era, when the Speedy became affectionately known as the Moonwatch - it's twisted lug case is one that has remained largely untouched for half a century now - and for good reason, it is a true icon and one of the finest watch designs in history

Along the way though, there were some curveballs in the Speedy enterprise, one such reference was the 176.0014, otherwise known as the "TV Dial".

With its integrated bracelet, boxy design so typical of the 70s, automatic movement, sapphire crystal with embedded tachymetre insert, this is certainly an oddball in the Speedmaster movement, and one that has always garnered a special place in collectors' hearts.

This example is evidently unpolished, with signs of wear to the bezel and bracelet (a light intervention could see the watch transformed with very little work - I however stick to my ethos of selling watches untouched and leave the option of case refinishing to the new owner) - the star of the show though is undeniably the blue soleil dial - one that changes from iridescent charcoal through night sky blue depending on how it takes the light from above

As an added bonus, this watch comes with its original box (inner and outer, plus instruction booklet)

I recently had the pleasure of buying a watch from Robin, a vintage watch dealer who truly stands out amongst the crowd. His exceptional communication and genuine passion for watches made the entire experience delightful from start to finish. Robin is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful person to chat with, and was very much willing to go the extra mile at all times. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable watch-buying experience - I'll certainly be back again in the future...!

I had a great experience buying a watch from Robin @ Mann about time.
Robin really facilitated my purchase journey, and created a climate of trust with his great knowledge of watches, in particular Rolex and Guilt GMT, but also with his high level of professionalism.
I would buy another watch from him with confidence.

Robin Mann … how to make this brief: First, an experienced and discriminating curator with a superb eye for quality, condition, character, artfulness and fine detail. Next, an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Then, presentation, packaging, and professionalism makes his entire exchange process simply … perfect.
Robin has created the standard for the vintage watch experience ….. cannot wait for the next one. Oh, and last, but not least … a really nice guy.
Thank you, Robin.

Ive known Robin for many years now , from when he was an art dealer, and when he told me that he’s started selling vintage watches, I knew I was in biiiiiiiig trouble. A vintage watch dealer that you can trust could only mean 1 thing: my bank balance would start dwindling and I was about to embark on an exhilarating ride collecting some of the most iconic vintage timepieces- His taste for chronographs is impeccable , his eye for discovering authentic pieces is truly astouding and his prices are more than fair : Within 2 years Robin’s managed to source 3 grail watches for me; a vintage sub, Pepsi gmt, and a 1016 explorer. He’s the best vintage watch dealer in the game and I cant recommend him highly enough!
