·Just picked up today after 9 months of waiting. Still in shipping plastic 'coffin' only taken out to take pictures and safely tucked back in it with all stickers. Completely unworn. Only 1970 pieces made worldwide and easily one of the most sought after, difficult to acquire modern watches at this moment. Edition number is 1771 so one of the last pieces to be made and likely recently came straight from Omega, Switzerland. This watch was severely delayed due to difficulties with the hand made 'spacedust' caseback meaning a delay of almost two years! An absolute must have piece for the serious collector. UK ONLY.
Description
£8000. This is the cheapest on the planet as far as I know but with a new baby on the way I can't pass the opportunity on this piece.
In 1970, the crew aboard Apollo 13 used their Speedmaster watches as part of their perilous yet successful return to Earth, an action for which OMEGA received NASA's Silver Snoopy Award.
For the 45th anniversary, this inspired "Moonwatch" has been refreshed with a white dial that features a Super-LumiNova Snoopy on the 9 o'clock subdial.
"Failure is not an option" has been transferred on the dial, as well as the phrase "What could you do in 14 seconds?" with 14 squares that represent the Snoopy comics.
The 42.00 mm polished-brushed case is made with stainless steel, while the polished black ceramic bezel ring also features Super-LumiNova on the tachymeter scale.
Similar to the iconic original, this watch features the OMEGA Calibre 1861, and "Moonwatch" style hands.
To complete the look, there is a black coated nylon fabric strap, and a crafted 925 Silver Snoopy medallion with dark blue enamel on the reverse.
