Interestingly, the limited editions in yellow gold and on leather strap had the same case number, 145.0052. Therefore, that case number can be found on the limited edition made for the 20 th anniversary of the Apollo Soyuz mission and on the limited Jubilee edition that celebrated the 50 th anniversary, like the present model. This present lot is part of that Jubilee edition that was made of 999 pieces in 1992. To celebrate it, they decided to gold plate the movement, a nice hidden detail that can only be admired when the watch is open and the dust cap removed. The serial number on the movement is repeated under the lower left lug. Interestingly, the inside caseback is stamped Omega and has some engraving revealing the famous "Fab. Suisse" as well as that the case was made in Italy. Few of these watches have appeared on the international market. This one, in an attractive condition, comes with its original Omega guarantee and presentation box, making it an unmissable opportunity.
