2000's OMEGA Speedmaster Professional (Ref. 3573.50.00) "Sapphire Sandwich"

(Alan Bean With An Omega Speedmaster Professional On Lunar Surface Of The Moon)

The Omega Speedmaster Professional is by far one of our most favorite chronographs. The Speedmaster has an incredible history starting with automotive racing moving into flight and eventually to NASA and the U.S. Space Program.  There are many subtle differences within the vintage Omega Speedmaster range of references that make them all slightly unique and different. 

This OMEGA Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” features a black dial covered by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and graced by a small seconds sub-dial, 30-minute recorder and 12-hour recorder along with a central chronograph hand. The black bezel, with its tachymetric scale, is mounted on a 42 mm stainless steel case and presented on a matching bracelet. At the heart of this chronograph is OMEGA’s mechanical calibre 1863, the famous manual-winding movement  visible through the transparent caseback.

The case remains unpolished showing some light surface markings yet retains the original factory finishing. The bezel remains in near perfect condition showing no scratching or blemishing. The case back is sapphire giving you a full view of the stunning cal.1863 movement. The Omega 1998/849 bracelet is in excellent condition and exhibits no stretch or excessive wear and retains 18 links.

The matte black dial is in flawless condition. The luminova dial and hands are untouched in perfect condition.
