The writer unexpectedly talks about time and heritage times in <strong>Invisible<\/strong> <strong>Man<\/strong>; as you read through, there\u2019s a passage where Ellison introduces the concept of how a timepiece is handed down from a father to his son. According to archives, the <strong>Omega reference 145.012-67<\/strong>\u00a0landed in the US in <strong>1968<\/strong>; <strong>Ellison<\/strong> then bought it and wore it until he died in <strong>1994<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-omega-speedmaster-145012-67\">The Omega Speedmaster 145012-67<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The association with <strong>Ellison<\/strong> adds further relevance to one of the most sought-after <strong>Speedmaster<\/strong> references, both technically and aesthetically. Its <strong>40 mm<\/strong> wide case and <strong>calibre 321<\/strong> make it one of the most desired models by collectors. <strong>Phillips<\/strong> said the watch was not directly coming from the Ellisons but from a private consignor instead. The latter bought the piece at an auction following <strong>Ralph Ellison<\/strong>\u2018s wife\u2019s death in <strong>2005<\/strong>. <strong>Omega<\/strong> has paid <strong>$667,800<\/strong> to make <strong>Ellison<\/strong>\u2018s <strong>Speedmaster<\/strong> theirs, and the timepiece is now heading to the brand\u2019s <strong>Museum<\/strong> in <strong>Switzerland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>(Photo credit: courtesy Omega)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Gaetano C @Horbiter\u00ae<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gaetano_cimmino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram \u2013 Gaetano Cimmino<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an auction, we usually wonder about the mysterious collector to have won a specific lot, even more so when the timepiece under the hammer is a Nautilus, a Royal Oak, a Daytona, or a Speedmaster.
