Investment scorecard

Momentum80Measured price direction: the median recorded sale of the last 4 months against the median of 8 to 12 months ago. 50 means flat; small samples are pulled toward 50.
Liquidity100How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.
Scarcity35Demand against supply. For modern pieces, how far the market sits above or below current retail, plus a lift if production has ended. For vintage, how rarely one comes up for sale.
Value entry26Where the latest quarter's median sale sits inside its own 3-year range. Buying near the low scores high; buying at the high scores low.
Condition safety68How safe a typical example is: the age of the design, plus how tightly sale prices cluster (a wide spread means condition and originality swing the price).

The story

The 145.022 replaced the 321-powered references and introduced the 861 movement in 1968.

It covers the Apollo era from the later Moon missions through Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz.

Early -68 and -69 examples are called Pre-Moon because production began before Apollo 11.

Collectors focus on originality, since many were later fitted with service parts.

Our verdict: The 1968 to 1980s caliber 861 Moonwatch, cheaper than a new one with real vintage charm. Originality is everything: service dials, replacement bezels and hands cut value fast.
