"THE FIRST "AND ONLY" WATCH WORN ON THE MOON"
This is the verbiage on the back on the "sapphire sandwich" Speedy 3573.50... from 2007 (77xxxxxxxxx)
Some have stated this is incorrect because another astronaut snuck a Waltham aboard an Apollo flight and wore it during an EVA on the moon.
If true, why does Omega still claim the Speedy is the "only" watch worn on the moon in the verbiage inscribed on the 3573.50 case back?
The "only" bit, is lies.
It is a documented fact that Dave Scott wore his Waltham chrono on the moon when his Speedy packed up.
So the sapphire sandwhiches from today delete "and only"...
Own a piece of history where Omega was caught lying on the back of this stunning Speedmaster.
The watch winds super well and keeps perfect time.
Great condition no really visible scratches or dings.
Full length bracelet and this is watch only.
$5050 shipped and insured overnight...anywhere in Canada.
Interesting trades always considered.
Thank you for reading!
Tech specs:
1)
The OMEGA Speedmaster is one of OMEGA’s most iconic timepieces. Having been a part of all six lunar missions, the legendary Speedmaster is an impressive representation of the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit.
This OMEGA Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” features a black dial covered by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and graced by a small seconds sub-dial, 30-minute recorder and 12-hour recorder along with a central chronograph hand. The black bezel, with its tachymetric scale, is mounted on a 42 mm stainless steel case and presented on a matching bracelet.
At the heart of this chronograph is OMEGA’s mechanical calibre 1863, the famous manual-winding movement worn on the Moon, visible through the transparent caseback
