Hi all, I'd like to purchase a modern Speedmaster Professional moon watch, but I don't like the various commemorative inscriptions on the case back, just want the simple Hippocampus original logo. Which model should I choose? As you can tell, I'm not an aficionado, so be gentle. Thanks!
Gday, welcome to the forum. Great you have a avatar already FOIS https://www.omegawatches.com/watches/speedmaster/moonwatch/first-omega-in-space/product
I was thinking of the back like this, or similar. And I'd prefer a steel bracelet vs. leather or textile band.
No current model has that plain a back. You may be able to find a service back or original 321 back which could be swapped in but otherwise the nearest you will get is the 2017 Trilogy Speedmaster, pictured below:
Options: Buy a modern Speedmaster with hesalite and put a 1960s Hippocampus service caseback on it... ( will probably fit ? ) Or go for the 1994 " 25 years Apollo 11 " Speedmaster which has a display caseback so You can see the 861 movement inside...
Maybe try to find one of these? https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-speedmaster-broad-arrow-35945000
