Possibly one of the greatest misses in the history of commemorative watchmaking.

Needed to be the exact 105-012 case, dial and bracelet design and sizes with the 321 column wheel movement. No cheesy dial medallions, just what the astronauts saw when they looked at their watches. Same case back as the 105-012 with Armstrong, Aldrins and Collins names, Apollo 11 and landing date in small engraving around around the circumference of the case back.

Max 1969 watches total:

169 Platinum
400 White Gold
400 Yellow Gold
1000 Stainless

Price them how you like, they'd all be gone in 60 seconds.

It's not like they didn't know the 50th was coming - they had plenty of time to plan and deliver a meaningful commemorative edition that would bring collectors back to Omega.

My

Cheers.
