This model is part of the second series of Speedmasters with unnumbered display back and is virtually identical to the first series (the « Apollo XI Unnumbered »). The main difference is the replacement of the APOLLO XI inscription by PROFESSIONAL and Ω OMEGA on the caseback.
It was in production for about three years from 1995 to 1997. In 1995 its movement was altered with the addition of an 18th jewel bearing (like the one presented here). In 1996, its PIC code changed from 3592.50 to 3572.50.

The Omega Speedmaster, born in 1957, is one of the most iconic wristwatches ever produced. Since 1965, it has been the choice of space programs for over half a century and has been associated with some of mankind’s greatest space adventures, earning it the name The Moonwatch.
Naturally, beyond its professional use for more than sixty years, the Speedmaster, with its incredible history and its timeless design, has appealed to a much wider public throughout the world.
In 1985, Omega introduced the first steel Speedmaster with a sapphire display caseback and the caliber 863 with luxury finish. This was a limited series of 1’000 copies, with an individual number engraved on the caseback bezel. A second numbered edition was produced in 1988-1989 with a yellow-plated caliber 863. Then, the display back Speedmaster remained in the catalogs, but in unlimited production (reference 3592.50, then 3572.50).
In 1848, Louis Brandt founded a company in La Chaux-de-Fonds which would become Omega. In the 1880s, the Louis Brandt & Fils company moved to its current site in Bienne and in 1894 the caliber Omega was created, which would give its name to the company. Renowned for its precise, innovative and affordable watches, it became the largest supplier of watches to the British Army during World War II. It also became the first company to time the Olympic Games in 1932. Among its range of numerous professional watches, the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon in 1969.
