The first Speedmaster Professional model with moon phases (and date), nicknamed “Speedymoon”, was sold from the end of 1985 for three years.
The Speedymoon was neither numbered, nor officially limited, but its production remained small, with an estimation of 1’300 examples.
The moon phases and the date complications entailed a modification of the calibre 861, which was renamed 866.
This example, with serial number #47.132.xxx, is from February 1986 and has been delivered in Austria. It is in perfect condition, with its original 1450/808 steel bracelet.

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 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.
