Apollo celebrates the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 lunar mission with a limited edition Speedmaster
This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most important events in the history of mankind ? the first manned mission to the moon. The Apollo 11 lunar mission also immortalized Omega Speedmaster as it became the first watch to successfully complete a visit to the earth?s own satellite on the hands of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. We all knew and have been waiting for Omega to reveal a special edition, a tribute timepiece to celebrate this momentous occasion. This is it; meet the Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary watch. Celebrating the golden jubilee of the lunar landing, the new commemorative model has a 42mm stainless steel case highlighted by Omega?s new 18-karat Moonshine gold that debuted on the solid gold variant earlier this year. The new patent-pending alloy was developed by the watchmaker for long-term color stability and has a slightly less shiny appearance than yellow gold.
The 50th Anniversary Steel version is powered by Omega?s newest manually wound movement, caliber 3861. The same movement is featured in Omega?s all-Moonshine Gold sibling. There are several design cues that pay tribute to the Apollo 11 mission. The watch has a grey dial with black sub-dials for the chronograph minutes. The Moonshine gold is also used in the beveled hour markers and the hour, minute and subdial hands. The 9 o?clock subdial exhibits Buzz Aldrin climbing down the lunar module?s ladder, while the applied ?11? Arabic hour numeral replaces the baton marker...
