You might ask why not mentioning it constitutes a mistake. The lower left lug of the Speedmaster sold in the HODINKEE Shop. You can see those two different lugs compared below. Those lugs, with their unique curvature, denote a case manufactured in 1966 by another supplier, Central BoГ®tes, for the previous Speedmaster model, the reference 105.012. The case of this Speedmaster indeed exhibits very specific lugs that do not match the cases manufactured by Huguenin FrГЁres used for the reference 145.012. So it seems all is good, correct? Well, unfortunately there is still one point that needs explanation here and my mistake was not to mention it in our 'What You Should Know' category, as I should have.

You can also find more about the whole Speedmaster lineage in our Reference Points here. The watch I had found for the Shop is an extremely nice Speedmaster, and I described it in the listing here as a 145.012 based on three elements that I will illustrate below. Watch lovers legitimately asked us for an explanation, so in this article I wish to address what happened and how we already fixed it, in full transparency, because this is exactly what we stand for at HODINKEE. However, lastВ week we вЂ“ or more exactly I вЂ“ made a mistake in one of the listings, the vintage Speedmaster that was sold out within minutes of the launch. Over the past weeks, we have offered close to 60 watches on the Shop, and you've loved them.
