The present lot is an exceptional platinum limited edition watch that commemorates the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing. Released in 2009, this is the iconic Speedmaster Professional in all platinum and fully loaded with many unique features that are appropriate for such an event in the course of human history. The dial has the GMT time in red below the signature, and it is outfitted with an 18k gold subsidiary seconds hand with plaque 67/69. The chronograph hand has a complimentary red tip that matches the GMT time. The platinum case is fitted with an 18k gold back with the Apollo 11 Mission insignia and 40th anniversary. The special dial is protected with a Hesalite shatter proof acrylic crystal that is similar to the one found on the original moon watch.
In unused condition, this example is number 67 of 69 timepieces. The collection was made in platinum, along with 7969 stainless steel examples with sterling silver medallion. This is a very rare opportunity for collectors to share in the joy and passion of one of the most dramatic events in history, and to also celebrate the importance of Omega timing.
