Specialist note
The OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo XI model in solid gold was created in 1969 to commemorate Apollo XI’s successful Moon landing. A total of 1,014 examples were produced.
The available examples were assigned an engraved dedication, OMEGA Speedmaster - Apollo XI 1969 - The First Watch Worn on the Moon, and numbered. There are three different types of engraving: thin and unpainted for approximately the first 100 examples, then thick and unpainted and finally thick and painted with a burgundy colour, which complements its burgundy coloured bezel. The present watch is from the latter version, with thick painted lettering.
