One of the rarest ‘Speedy Moons,’ it is thought that only around 285 examples of this white gold reference 3689.30.31 were made. It is one of the models produced to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969.
A highly attractive and distinctive timepiece, it features a light silvery dial with both a date calendar and moon phases indication, in addition to the chronograph registers. The 42 mm. case, with a black acrylic bezel insert, has a solid back inscribed with 'FLIGHT-QUALIFIED BY NASA FOR ALL MANNED SPACE MISSIONS - THE FIRST WATCH WORN ON THE MOON.' The manual-winding chronograph movement, caliber 1866, is based on the famous caliber 1861 with the addition of a moon phase and date module; it offers a power reserve of 48 hours.
Increasingly hard to find on the open market, and with growing awareness of its rarity, this watch offers collectors the opportunity to obtain a full-set example of this standout model.
