Here is a fantastic, fully original Omega Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” 30th Apollo XI anniversary watch from 1999. The black dial is in very fine condition, with a white Omega logo and lettering and barely any marks of wear. It has three subdials at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, respectively displaying the minute counter, the hour counter and running seconds. The dial has white lume strip hour markers with white painted stripes between for minutes and seconds divisions. The white baton hands are in very fine condition, with the original lume intact.
The stainless steel bezel with a black bakelite tachymetre insert is in very fine condition with light overall wear, perhaps most visible at around the number 110. The stainless steel case with the original crown and pushers and the beautiful bombe lugs that are a characteristic of the Speedmaster has a brushed face and sides, with polished bevels. It is in excellent condition with very little wear. The stainless steel case back is in excellent condition, with a crisp and clean Apollo XI mission logo in its centre and only a few marks of wear. It carries an inscription commemorating the landing on the moon 30 years earlier. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.
The original bracelet is in very fine condition, with little stretching and light overall wear. It is big enough for large wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details fits your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult.
Inside the watch, Omega’s legendary 1861 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in December 2023 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.
The “Moonwatch” is probably the most iconic watch ever made, chosen by NASA for the Apollo missions, and this commemorative Apollo XI version looks fantastic on the wrist. With the special case back and history of the watch this is a great conversation starter and it will add to any vintage collection.
Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
