This Speedmaster Professional reference 3366.51 is not the first model to come in (pink) gold and steel, but there aren't many out there either. In the early 1980s, Omega started experimenting with bi-color Speedmasters for the first time. This Speedmaster Apollo 15 35th anniversary edition was perhaps its time ahead, as we only see the interest in gold and bi-color watches increasing again. This watch was limited to 1971 pieces and we have to admit, that we don't come across one very often. Even during our Speedy Tuesday World Tour that we did last year and where we met with hundreds of fans, I can't recall seeing one in the flesh.
On the case back, you will find the Apollo 15 mission patch. The design of the Apollo 15 mission patch was submitted by Italian dress designer Emilio Pucci and the crew of Scott, Worden, and Irwin, modified Pucci’s design and colors a bit. Behind the three birds (that presumably represent the crewmen), we can see the lunar surface of the landing site.
