Hello,
Does anyone know what year the Speedmaster Pro 3573.50 had the omega globe etched on the case back? I'm currently in the market for one and curious as some of the owners 2nd hand aren't aware of the year of production and that would be a helpful benchmark.

Thanks!

 

From 2002, apparently. (No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

 

I 'm pretty sure they introduced the globe logo in 2003 on their best selling model, the 2531.
I bought a new speedmaster in 2007 which didn't have the logo if that's any help.

 

Did your Speedie have the sapphire display back?

 

No, it was a 3570.

 

Ah okay, the sapphire display back on the 3573.50 with the inscription "The First and Only" and the "globe" next to the Omega was introduced "from 2002" from what I read.

 

Where did you read that?
I'm still sure the first was the 2531 in 2003.

You sure you're not confusing when the 3573 was first introduced with the first globe logo?

 

I can only tell you what I read in the book. If you have a better source of information on the 3573.50, then I apologise for contradicting you.
