With the big day only two days away i am surprised that Omega introduced such a disappointing Speedmaster for the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11.

It may have a solid silver medallion and cheesy Eagle emblem on the dial but nothing really to make it so special.

The 50th anniversary is presented in that amazing inlaid wooden box with those incredible unique tools.

Also a matching crocodile Omega strap and several cloth bound books that are still selling for excellent money on ebay.

The 40th anniversary watch has a hesalite plastic crystal and basic ordinary dial.

The 50th anniversary has the very special enamel face with the superb coaxial movement with saphire crystal back and front.

Another aspect that makes the 50th really special is its pre 1967 Speedmaster dial before the Professional name appeard on the watch.

Why Omega didnot wait two years for the big event and give collectors the oportunity to own something really to talk about i donot know but it doesnot seem to matter because credit crunch or not every 40th anniversary watch my branch of Goldsmiths have obtained have sold the same day.

Nice though the 40th Speedmaster Moonlanding watch is i know which watch i would rather own and thats the 1957 Coaxial which i am collecting on Monday afternoon and im dead excited about owning it.]]>Jul 18th 2009 10:19AM
