Omega, Ref. 3592.50.00 I, “Speedmaster Professional”, so-called “Apollo XI 25th Anniversary Italy”

The Ref. 3592.50.00 was introduced in 1994 as a limited edition of 999 pieces, made for the Italian market, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Apollo XI mission. It was produced between April and June 1994.

It served as the base for the later Ref. 3592.50.00 and Ref. 3572.50.00.

This watch features a “see-through” sapphire-crystal case-back engraved with “APOLLO XI” and “APOLLO XXV”. It was delivered with a commemorative coin and a special box. The individual number is engraved on its case-band. Which is not the case here!
