Omega "Speedmaster Professional", Movement No. 45580536, Case No. A040, Ref. BA345.0802, Cal. 861L, 42 mm, 136 g, circa 1984
A heavy wristwatch with chronograph - limited edition "Apollo XI 10th Anniversary Model"
Case: 18k gold, glazed push back, engraving: "Apollo XI 1969 - The First Watch Worn on the Moon", black tachy bezel, original solid 18k gold bracelet with deployant clasp, bracelet length 150 mm, total length 200 mm. Dial: gold.
The bezel on the back of the gold Speedmaster Professional reference BA345.0802 is engraved with a unique number; allegedly there are only 300 examples of this gold Speedmaster Professional model dating from the 1980s, with 20 of them in white gold and the others in yellow gold. The watches were fitted with the Omega calibre 861L, which is a specially designed version of the regular calibre 861 with a more luxurious finish (as shown by the L designation). It closely resembles the later calibre 1861 (introduced in 1997), which had a rhodium plated finish. The movement also features 19 jewels instead of 17 (as was common at the time).
