Catalogue Essay Housed in a beautifully crafted 18K white gold case, the present Speedmaster is one of a limited edition series of timepieces created in 1994 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Apollo XI mission. Omega created 3 different series for the “Silver Anniversary” of the Apollo XI space mission: 2,500 examples in steel, 500 in 18k white gold, and 50 in platinum. The present watch is distinguished by the rhodium-plated, chronometer-rated caliber 864 movement. The silvered dial is inscribed CHRONOMETER. The 500 white gold watches produced were delivered in a book-shaped box in light brown leather, as exemplified by the present lot. Adding an element of intrigue, the lettering “APOLLO XI 1969-1994” is engraved on the side of the case band. This wondrous and rare wristwatch is one of the few Speedmaster examples to be both chronograph and chronometer.

In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon. Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
