The exterior finishes consist of a combination of polished and brushed surfaces, complemented by distinctive lapidated lugs. The case back is secured by screws and features an engraved Speedmaster logo. Inside, an antimagnetic dust cap protects the movement from external interference. The black dial is fitted with luminous baton-style indices and an outer minute and 1/5th second track. The time and chronograph functions are displayed via luminous steel alpha-shaped hands.

- Movement Construction
- The movement powering this chronograph is the Omega caliber 321, a manual-wind mechanism characterized by its copper-colored finish. It operates with 17 jewels and incorporates a classic straight-line lever escapement. Technical features of the caliber include a monometallic balance equipped with a shock absorber system. The balance assembly utilizes a self-compensating flat balance spring managed by a traditional index regulator. The movement, along with the case and dial, bears the maker's signature.
- Condition and Accessories
- The auction description provides a grading assessment for the watch, assigning a general grade of AA. The individual components are assessed as follows: the case is graded as 3, the movement as 3*, and the dial as 3-12-01. The report notes that the hands are original to the watch, though the dial is described as having a tropical appearance. The lot is sold with several accompanying items, including a fitted box, a Certificate of Authenticity, and an additional spare JB bracelet.
