EXTRACT OF ARCHIVES
The present Speedmaster, with serial number #37.870.xxx, is a reference ST 145.022-76, manufactured in 1978 and delivered to the USA.
It is in very good condition, and all its parts are conform, included its stainless steel bracelet reference 1171/633.
Its dial is called Tall & Open S in the MOONWATCH ONLY book, a nickname referring to the height and shape of the capital S of Speedmaster: it is very tall / long and its ends are curly, but much less than the Tall & Closed S variant, produced at the end of the 80s. Produced from 1977 to 1990, this is the correct version for this reference ST 145.022-76.
