Selling my Omega Speedmaster Professional 3570.50.00. I will leave it to the professionals (Hodinkee) to describe this piece. Here’s a blurb from one of their recent listings. *Why We Love It* *While the Speedmaster was originally introduced in 1957 as a racing watch, it wasn't until 1969 when the hand-wound chronograph accompanied the crew of Apollo 11 onto the surface of the Moon that it received the legendary status that it holds today. Two known Speedmaster references were worn by the crew of Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore a 105.012, while Michael Collins wore the later 145.012. One of the closest modern references to either of these models is this watch right here, the ref. 3570.50.00.* *Introduced in 1996, the then-new Moonwatch was effectively identical to the watch worn by the Apollo 11 crew other than a few small details such as the luminescent material used in the hands and hour markers (Luminova rather than tritium) and the exact movement, which is caliber 1861, a modern version of the original 861 movement (itself an update to the legendary 321 caliber) that uses 18 jewels rather than 17 and is rhodium plated. Outside of these technical updates, almost all other aesthetic details carried over, notably including the shatterproof hesalite crystal, black dial with white accents, combination of 30-minute, 12-hour, and small seconds sub-dials, closed caseback, and the 42mm case in stainless steel with matching bracelet.* *In 2014, OMEGA introduced the then-next generation of the Moonwatch with the ref. 311.30.42.30.01.005, yet for an almost twenty year period, the ref. 3570.50.00 served as the flagship of the iconic design family, and today is all but guaranteed to become a modern Speedmaster classic.* This one is in excellent condition. It shows honest signs of being pre-loved, but presents as incredibly clean (especially the Hesalite). These photos are taken in the harshest, most revealing light I can find. Bracelet is sized to 7” and comes with an extra link. The manual wind and chronograph functions run great and it is keeping good time. This is an excellent example of an excellent watch.
