1988 Omega Speedmaster 376.0822 'Holy Grail'

The Speedmaster Holy Grail was given its name by the late Chuck Maddox. There is a great article on the watch here by Fratello Watches. With a limited run of circa 2000 watches it was relitively cheap to find one 5 years ago. Now with collectors wating to add these to collections, the price has risen immensly. Undoubtably the Holy Grail is one watch you should have in the collection!
