Hi Guys, i have to admit i am a little bit confused here.
I know that there is a Anniversary Speedmaster that has a Sapphire caseback
and i thought it was either the 20th or the 25th Anni Model.

But... and this is where i get confused... when i either google 20th or 25th Anniversary Speedmaster
i only find Photos of basically the same watch (the one with the engravings on the side of the case)

Maybe you can correct me if i am wrong about the seethrough caseback on a Anni Version or
help me to get rid of my confusion.

Thanks anyway

Cheers

René

 

Well, if you google for the 20th anniversary version you find pictures of this watch

this anniversary model came with three inscribtions

Apollo XI 1969
XXXX/2000 which seems pretty senseless to me
XXXX/2000 Apollo XI 1969


If you google for the 25th anniversary version you find also pictures of this watch


It also has an inscribtion on the side, but did it come with a sappire caseback?

 

Was there a "normal" non anniversary Speedy with a seethrough caseback in the Omega sales programm in 1994/1995?

 

Now that i had a bit more time i figured it out for myself.
There are 3 Versions of seethrough casebacks, 1 was for the 10th Anniversary and the other 2 were in the regular program since 1987.
It really is nice that the pages of Chuck are still online.

Thanks for your help

 

Sad but true, so what i did buy is a standard sapphire caseback Speedy from 1995 and a tad too expensive... shame on me
But at least it does come with papers, the huge wodden box, the original 1479 and the original velcro.

 

And there were also a couple of other special editions in 1994, both with sapphire backs. A white gold, white dial model, limited to 500. Or a platinum skeletonised version, limited to 50.​

You're killin' me! I missed the opportunity to buy #5 of the white gold version from the original owner's son and now it's gone ;-(
