The 50th anniversary Apollo 11 watch. ...  

Ain't many of these Wear in good health, Miki

I like a little gold mixed in the collection, but totally understand some are not fans. I’m not a fan of two tone watches. It has to be either all gold or all steel for me 😀

It’s a special watch … ...  

Good to see a fellow WPS member got it. Wear it in good health. I think the other steel version is worthy to collect as well. ...  

. . . indeed. This image was taken at the Phillips roadshow for their 2016 Speedmaster auction. Unfortunately I don't recall details, but if not mistaken there was interesting provenance for this one. Another intriguing version . . . . . . is the yellow g...  

I wonder if the Philips road show one was one of the few gold Speedy’s they originally gave to astronauts? I know watch number 1 was given to President Nixon who gave it back because he couldn’t accept such an extravagant gift while in office. That’s the ... 

This one is an original limited batch of non flown gold Speedmasters because of it's DON bezel. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Regardless, it's certainly a beautiful Speedy

… commonly known as Tribute to Astronauts had DON bezels. Probably our dear Art can confirm this. By the other hand all watches of that historical issue are non flown as they were presented to Astronauts after the Moon Landing in 1969. The beautiful watch...

Don´t worry for your memory. You have a very strong memory but it is impossible to have all information and details about our beloved watches/brands/models stored in our internal HD in our brains!!. )) Have a nice week end my dear friend. Abel

Regarding ceramic bezels in Speedmasters. The original 1969 145.022-69 came with an aluminum DON bezel. The superb edition of 2019 came with the ceramic DON bezel and also 1014 watches. Cheers, Abel

. . . someone of historical note was the original owner.

A while back The Omega Forum ran a comprehensive article on these and the one's with DON are the ones to own.

. . . three yellow gold Speedmasters on offer. The one I photographed was originally assigned to astronaut Ron Evans, according to the online catalog. Apologies, gents. My bad. Art

A superb offering from Omega of the year 2019 celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Moon Landing. Enjoy in the best of good health! Mine says hello!! Cheers! Abel ...
