Description
Celebrating Apollo 11 landing on the moon in 1969, the first model of the Speedmaster was released. It has a distinctive look with an 18-karat yellow gold case, tachymeter in a burgundy color and button hands. It was a limited edition of 1,014 pieces. The back cover was engraved with a memorial seal and number. There was great care for details, such as the attachment of a silver-dedicated box inspired by the surface of the moon. After this one, models celebrating the moon landing by Apollo 11 have been released every ten years in the form of 10th, 20th and 30th anniversary editions, and so on. In the latest year of 2019, a 50th anniversary model was released, and the series can be considered the original memorial model.
