ABOUT THIS WATCH

• This limited-edition Speedmaster Professional was released in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing
• Building on the iconic ‘Moonwatch’, Omega has incorporated unique design details to commemorate this special mission
• Omega’s proprietary ‘Moonshine’ gold has been used on the bezel, applied markers and hands - giving the watch a more premium feel and creating contrast with the stainless steel case
• On the 9 o’clock sub-register, a gold medallion has been laser-etched to show Buzz Aldrin descending from the lunar module onto the moon’s surface
• The 11 o’clock hour marker is signified with numerals as a subtle nod to the mission number
• The bracelet fitted to this watch is a re-creation of the one found on the ref. 1506 - the Speedmaster that went to the moon
• Housed inside the case is the updated calibre 3861 movement which now incorporates a co-axial escapement, an antimagnetic silicon balance spring and is Master Chronometer certified 
• Turning the watch over, the wearer is greeted with Neil Armstrong’s famous quote printed on a sapphire crystal. Underneath is a laser-etched plate displaying a footprint on the moon’s surface
