Story and Details
Part of what defined Omega in the late 90s/early 2000s was its “My Choice” ad campaign. In various print advertising forms, a range of Omega models were the watch of choice of legendary racing drivers, like Andretti and Schumacher, dashing film stars like Pierce Brosnan, and supermodels like Elle MacPherson and Cindy Crawford.
So who’s watch of choice was the Omega Speedmaster Professional? We all know that answer and it's storied history... In 1963, NASA chose the Speedmaster out of a lineup of watches which included the likes of Longines-Wittnauer, Rolex and Hamilton, to be fitted on the wrists of their astronauts. Then in 1966, NASA chose the Speedmaster to be the official watch of the Apollo program. And finally on July 20th, 1969, the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon.
While the Omega Speedmaster Professional Ref. 3570.50.00 pictured here may not be NASA’s original choice, you wouldn’t be mistaken for thinking so. Apart from the bracelet and year it was made, everything else on the Ref. 3570.50.00 is just as it was on the moon watch - the Ref. 105.012 from 1965 well-known to be worn by Neil Armstrong. Even the movement is a descendant of the calibre 321 used in that famous version of the model.
The fact that the Speedmaster Professional has remained virtually unchanged since it was NASA’s choice for the moon, speaks volumes about its robustness and timeless design. And it reminds us why NASA chose for the Speedmaster Professional to be immortalized in the history books as the Moon Watch.

The condition of this ad is so pristine that it's hard to believe that it is a 50 something year old ad. That and the framing job makes it a joy to look at.
My wife got this for me a couple years ago. It hangs above my office desk so I like to glance at it whenever I get the chance.

This is my second purchase from Nick and I couldn't be happier. The ad itself was preserved well and in pristine condition! Thanks to the ad, all I need is the Viceroy Autavia to add to my lineup of vintage Heuers.
It’s a great addition to my collection and a conversation starter to anyone who walks in to my place. Highly recommend exploring Ad Patina's offerings.
