Last year, Omega celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Speedmaster.
Through the years, only few things have changed on that classical model. To illustrate that point, you will find below two versions of the speedmaster:
On the left a speedmaster CK2998-5 with a service bezel and a service dial.
On the right a speedmaster professional 3572.50
Will you see all differences between these 2 versions, with more than 40 years between them ?
