The Omega Speedmaster is one of the world’s most iconic watches and needs no introduction. It is also one of the most intriguing models to watch collectors as its design has subtly changed almost every year since its inception in 1957. 

The present example, ref. 3570.50, was the first Speedmaster to have luminova on the dial and exclusively used the 1861 Caliber. Today's moon watch hasn't drifted far from this model in overall look and design.

The dial and hands are perfect with no marks or corrosion, The case has been polished in the past but remains sharp. The watch has the earlier 1499/842 bracelet which retains its full links. It comes complete with its original box, booklets and original guarantee. It runs superbly at -2 s/d, 290 amps, with a 0.3 ms beat error. 

While good examples of earlier Speedmasters often commend well over 5-digit, this represents great value as a neo-vintage classic.
