··So on and so on and scoobie doobie dooYou may already know that the -69 only identifies the case reference. These were produced for several years. It's estimated that these were sold between 1971 to 1974.
It's thought that Omega could have released these earlier than 1971 but held them back until they received permission from NASA. They sought permission because this inscription on the caseback was the first Speedmaster that mentioned the Moon landing.
This watch is one of my favorites because it seems to freeze a jubilant time in history. The watches before had nothing inscribed on them about the Moon and the ones after were formalized. This one that says "First Watch on the Moon" seems to yell "Whoopie, we did it!"
Wear it in good health.
