Pre-Owned Omega 42mm Speedmaster Apollo-Soyuz 35th Anniversary LE Professional, Black Meteorite Dial, Stainless Steel Bracelet, Ref. 311.30.42.30.99.001
This limited edition Speedmaster celebrates the 35th anniversary of the 1975 joint space mission when an American Apollo spacecraft docked with a Soviet Soyuz module. The most notable feature of this watch is its fantastic meteorite dial, which makes this limited edition one of the most unique and sought after of the limited edition Speedmasters. The meteorite is thinly sliced and then undergoes a chemical process that accentuates the unique structure of the meteorite, which offers a wonderful variety of views as the watch is held in different angles against the light. Each dial is unique, as no two slices are the same. The watch is a limited edition of 1975 pieces to match the mission year, and the watch offered here has an early number in the edition, as well as having been sold near the date of the original mission. The watch is in excellent condition with light scratches from wear and comes with its original box, outer box, and paperwork, including the limited edition certificate. The 1861 manual winding movement was just serviced, offering years of worry free wear.

Omega is one of the world’s most recognizable luxury watch brands. Although founded in 1848, the company did not become known as Omega until 1894, when the company took the name of its highly successful new watch movement. The revolutionary movement used a single crown for both winding and time setting. Success followed success when in 1905, due to its commitment to accuracy, Omega became the official timekeeper for Swiss sporting events. Later in 1932, Omega became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games. To mark Omega’s 100th year anniversary, Omega introduced the watch that would become one of the world’s most popular watches, the Seamaster. While these are remarkable achievements, the watch that made Omega a legend among watchmakers was the Speedmaster, the only watch to survive the brutal NASA testing requirements and the only watch certified by NASA for use in Space. It is no surprise that Omega watches are recognized today as spectacularly rugged tool watches hiding in a luxury watch.
