Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional - Sapphire Sandwich

Introducing the Moonwatch 3573.50.00, affectionately known by enthusiasts as the "Sapphire Sandwich". It delivers the iconic Moonwatch design but with key upgrades for those wanting modern touches alongside the heritage. The classic 42mm asymmetrical stainless steel case and legendary chronograph layout are instantly recognizable. However, up front, this model swaps the traditional Hesalite for a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, offering superb clarity and durability for everyday wear. The black dial and tachymeter bezel remain faithful to the Moonwatch aesthetic. But the real magic happens when you turn it over: a sapphire crystal display caseback reveals the stunning manual-winding Calibre 1863. This is the beautifully finished, rhodium-plated version of the legendary movement that accompanied astronauts to the Moon. Seeing this intricate mechanical heart beat is a true pleasure for any watch lover! While it requires the engaging ritual of daily winding, maintaining that connection to its spacefaring roots, the sapphire crystals add a layer of practicality and visual appeal. Fitted with the classic stainless steel Speedmaster bracelet, this reference brilliantly combines the historical soul of the Moonwatch with the modern desire to see the engine within and have a tougher front crystal. It’s a window into a legend. Our offering is in superb condition and comes with it's box and undated papers. Ticking per specs.
