Speedy "rare as a pinguin in a sauna": the "A.C.P."

Omega delivered 50 pieces of the Omega Speedmaster ref. 105.012-63, all equipped with a ref. 1506 bracelet, on July 2nd, 1964 to the Automovil Club Peruano (A.C.P.). It is to my knowledge the only time, that Omega added a "double signature" to a Speedmast

With me for the next few days on special request: Omega Speedmaster ref. 105.012-63 with that little twist ......

.... the letters "A.C.P." on the dial. Those who know, know. Those who don't: check my post here of November 8, 2020 (type "Omega A.C.P." here in the search function) Cheers, HSTE

1 of 50 .... back in 1964: the Omega Speedmaster ref. 105.012-63 "A.C.P." of which 50 pieces ....

.... were delivered to the Automovil Club Peruano on July 2, 1964. I think this is the only time, that Omega printed a "customer-logo" on the dial in the factory. (As you know, the "Meister", "Tiffany" etc. few Speedmasters were double-signed in those Jew

While I don't have a Speedy yet, my favorite . . .

. . . (aside from a NASA-issued 105.012, of course!) would be the A.C.P. This example . . . . . . was posted by Anotol a few years back. Why the A.C.P.? Because the dial was made especially for a private group of auto enthusiasts in Peru. Our So Cal alpha

NASA? Moonlanding? Moonwatch? No. Not at all. It was all about car racing. And the A.C.P. is the truest to this initial intention for the Speedmaster.

As most of you know, the advertisements of the Speedmaster up until 1969/1970 were mostly about car racing, car rallying, sports and the likes. It is therefore no surprise that at some point, a car rallye club - more precisely the Automovil Club Peruano -

I quite like these „portrait shots“. I got the laser cut „Omega“ and „Speedmaster“ years ago. And I now, finally, used it....

My post number 2000 looks more closely at one of my "reserve du patron" watches: the Omega Speedmaster 105.012-63 A.C.P.

Well, I know: 2000 posts is the quantity that my friend Alkiro would manage to post in - say - 14 days or so. But to me, 2000 is a lot, and hence, somehow special. As "a rusty watch guy" and a bit "old school" perhaps, I though this post should be a bit s
