Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 3573.50.00

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional 3573.50.00, affectionately dubbed the “Sapphire Sandwich,” is a legendary chronograph that blends horological heritage with modern craftsmanship. As part of the iconic Speedmaster collection, this 42mm stainless steel watch carries the legacy of being the first watch worn on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
