145.0022 (1981–1988)
The bridge: the 145.022 under its new name.
True vintage ends with the Moon generation. The Time Machine covers what came next — the Moonwatch from 1981 forward, every example at least 25 years old.
True vintage asks for reverence. Neo-vintage asks to be worn. This desk is for the collector who wants the tritium dials, the first calibre 1861s, and the last hand-wound Moonwatches of the twentieth century — newer than vintage, older than modern, and usable in a way a 1968 watch asks you not to.
One rule, applied without exception: a watch enters the Time Machine when its own production year turns 25. The door rolls forward every January — each new year admits a new class.
The bridge: the 145.022 under its new name.
Tritium and calibre 861, the last of the old recipe.
The 1861 debut; the default first Moonwatch. (Coverage: examples 25 years and older.)
The sapphire pair, display backs and all.
The entry point, automatic and 39mm.
A monthly price-and-data letter: medians, verified sold prices, and new-to-market highlights across the desk.
