Speedmaster 50th Anniversay series

[leonmike]

I saw 2 versions of this model. The one at the Omega boutique in Raffles City has a golden seahorse on its face. And the other one on an online website in the US has only a series of no. (0000/1957) on its face.
Is there any difference between these 2 models.
I may want to buy it when i goes to the US at the end of this month for my vacation.
Appreciste your expert commends. Thanks

There are more than 2 versions of the 50th anniversary Speedmaster LE.

The one with the golden seahorse on the dial is aka "the patch" and has a production of 5975 pieces. It is not very different from the standard moonwatch other than the golden seahourse on the dial and the engraved words on the case back (as well as a different box and some special papers and a CD etc).

The other one that has "0000/1957" on the dial uses a special material for the dial and features the original 1957 omega logo on the dial. It has a transparent case back and is fitted with a co-axial movement. It also comes with some tools for the collectors. If I remember correctly, the list price of this was almost double of the above mentioned one.

Then there are other versions, the "00/57", that are similar to the "0000/1957" but produced in 3 versions of gold, with each gold version limited to 57 pieces.

I doubt the one you saw at the boutique is for sale. It would have been on display/in stock for almost 5 years by now...

Sorry typo error in my first post. it should read 5957 instead of 5975 pieces
