Omega Speedmaster Professional (Ref. 3891.50) "Apollo XI 25th-Anniversary", 1994

Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

(Alan Bean With An Omega Speedmaster Professional On The Lunar Surface Of The Moon) The Omega Speedmaster Professional is undoubtedly a beloved chronograph. Its rich history began with its involvement in automotive racing before transitioning to aviation and eventually becoming a crucial part of NASA's U.S. Space Program. The vintage Omega Speedmaster collection boasts a range of references, each with its own subtle differences that add to the overall individuality of each timepiece. There is a tremendous amount of value in the transitional model Speedmasters of the 90s. These later-era pieces feature several subtle quality-of-life improvements to the design that add up to increase the overall robustness of the iconic chronograph, the most notable of which is the upgraded bracelet. Though these models aren’t without vintage charm despite their modern enchantments, as it is actually somewhat typical to find Speedmasters in this era with striking patinas to the lume, hence the “transitional” nomenclature. Built on the same platform as the ref. 3950.50, the Omega Speedmaster Professional 25th Anniversary ref. 3891.50 was produced in a limited edition of 2,500 pieces to commemorate the Apollo XI Moon landing. This special release was offered in two configurations—one on a leather strap, as seen here, and another on a bracelet. Both versions feature the commemorative Apollo XI engraving on the left side of the case, along with individual limited-edition numbering on the caseback. The Speedmaster Professional remains one of the most iconic chronographs ever produced, admired for its timeless design, robust construction, and historical significance. Its versatility allows it to transition seamlessly between formal and casual settings, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned collectors and those seeking their first vintage timepiece or a dependable daily wearer.
