This article discusses the Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo 11 50th Anniversary in Moonshine Gold as the author's "best watch ever owned." The author details the personal significance of the watch, its impressive wrist presence, and how it has become a daily wearer despite its precious metal construction and weight.
- Limited to 1,014 pieces for public sale
- Number 13 of the limited edition
The author considers this watch his "best watch" because it speaks to him the most and gets the most wrist time, despite also appreciating watches for finishing and movement construction.
The watch is described as having an "amazing" wrist presence and is a "heavy hitter" weighing nearly 220 grams.
The author chose this specific watch, number 13, due to his preference for the number and its connection to astronaut Thomas Stafford's original Apollo 11 Speedmaster.
The author initially intended to wear the watch only on special occasions but found himself wearing it nearly every day due to its beauty.
The watch is presented in a "crater box."
