35.596.xxx was produced in September 1973, and is in good condition, with normal signs of age, and its parts are conform to the original configuration.
Not all the 125s were numbered. We think that maximum 6’000 watches were numbered with a letter (from A to L) and a 3-digit number.
Those numbered watches were all produced betweeen June and October 1973 (the year of the 125th anniversary).
Interestingly a few them have a special code, starting with a circled I, followed by the 3-digit number. This is the same format as the Speedmaster Apollo-Soyut made for Italy. The rare pieces observed with this particular code have been delivered to Italy.

In 1973, Omega intended to celebrate their 125th anniversary in a big way.
They had previously celebrated their centennial in 1948 with the Centenary (references 2499 and 2500), which were Omega’s first production automatic chronometer wristwatches. The success of the Centenary led to the creation of the Constellation family, which of course went on to be one of the brands’ crowning achievements in terms of precision and accuracy.
Twenty-five years later, Omega once again released a chronometer to commemorate the occasion. This time it was a chronograph, which itself was an achievement: the world’s first chronometer-certified automatic chronograph, the reference ST 378.0801 / 178.0002.
The Speedmaster 125 was intended from the beginning to be a special, exclusive watch and this is evident from a quick glance:
The purpose of this document is to determine whether the constituent parts of the watch are conform to the model reference /period or not, and to value their condition and importance.
All the watches are provided with a digital certificate (the Watchfid-ID), that will be uploaded on your protected and anonymous digital wallet.
This document presents each watch in the most objective and detailed manner possible, thanks to a substantiated analysis, high-resolution photos designed to highlight all elements of the watch and an innovative rating system. Available in printed and digital versions.
On request and when available, an extract of the archives from the manufacturer can be obtained.
