Nice, any more pics and details?

It’s the 376.0822, cal 1045 from the late eighties; the only auto, day/date, centre minute Speedmaster in a ‘moonwatch’ style case.

Very nice!

Agreed!

Is that what I think it is?

The bezel looks right, the hands are right, the dial is right. Is it one of the 800?

That's very nice and very helpful. I'm looking to get a "moonwatch" in the near future but there are so many variations. That looks perfect. Thanks for posting.

Picked this up pre-owned as a full set. Seem to be plenty around. To the best of my knowledge it's the only current steel sports model than can be bought under RRP.

I reckon it's a bargain. Modern Rolex quality with maxi case, GMT movement with date, great lume and with the Polar dial it's something quite unique on the wrist. The only thing it's really missing is the glidelock clasp but the easylink works well and it's solid. 42mm might not be for everyone but for a summer/sporty watch I think it's perfect.

Also I heard rumours that it will be discontinued next year.

Gratuitous lume shot....

Many thanks for the information.

IIRC the production was about 2000 total with 200 being the bi-metal Italian version.

Had this for about 8 years. Always wanted a Tag & picked it up in Tag store at one of those retail outlet discount village places with a good discount



Had this one for about 15 years. Love wearing it

But only 800 left with original hands, dial, bezel, bracelet etc.?

Is it a "Holy Grail" version?

I don't know enough about them to know, so genuine question.

Worth some serious money if it is.

Oh, yeah, I suppose that sounds right. I’ve both bezel versions (original & service) and the only other ‘service’ part is the chrono second hand, I have the original though. Yup, it’s Chuck’s ‘Grail’, named after his long search - not surprising as hardly any were sold in the US; he also liked the combination of one of his favourite movements in such a classic case, as I.
The value has gone up, not that it was cheap to begin with, but in step with other ‘odd’ vintage like early Heuer, Speed 321’s, Zéniths etc. I’d say.

Well, very cool.

Cheers, it’s one of my ‘top three’ for sure.

Love these on a rubber. I've tried one on twice at my AD and I need to pull the trigger I think. I wouldn't normally finance something so superfluous but when it's 0%, why not?

Just saw this - 100% go for it! I wasn’t massively keen on the other colours of the news ones but this one really stood out to me. Loved the open back also.

SS or rubber strap? I’m thinking it actually looks better in rubber.

Looks good on both. Bracelet for work and the rubber on for holidays.

I love the Casio. Very similar to one my dad bought me for my start at big school.
The Yoda like "Water Resist" seems more like a plea than a reality!

[vixen1700]

Been wearing the Traska Freediver for the last few days, a really well made quality micro with a nice feel and look about it.

[Jayho]

Been a while since I've worn this one. Just changed to the strap for bracelet. First watch I ever bought myself.

Swiss only dial on this one
