You can find it here: As you might know, I am a big fan of these Speedmaster Professional Vacheron Constantin Toledo 1952 47300/000g-9064. They embody everything a perfect chronograph should be. Timeless casing, excellent readability, easy to operate chronograph buttons (no screw-down pushers), fit for stainless steel bracelets and leather straps, proven hand wound chronograph movement by Lemania (Omega caliber 1861) and a great history!Enough ranting about my favorite chronograph, lets see what this new 40th Anniversary Model is about.The original Apollo 11 patch has been placed on the subdial of 9 oclock. This patch was designed by astronaut Michael Collins. He was the third Apollo 11 astronaut, and remained aboard the Apollo 11 capsule as Command Module Pilot while his colleagues Armstrong and Aldrin were jumping around on the su***ce of the moon.
Some pre-Basel 2009 news from our friends in Bienne, Switzerland. Every 5 years, Omega introduces a tribute Limited Edition Speedmaster Professional for the original Moon Vacheron Constantin Toledo 1952 47300/000g-9064that landed on the Moon 21 July 1969, on the wrist of Buzz Aldrin.This coming July 21st, it will be 40 years ago that Aldrin had his caliber 321 Speedmaster Professional strapped on his space suit and Armstrong left his Vacheron Constantin Toledo 1952 47300/000g-9064 in the Lunar Module because of a defect electronic timing system. Check my earlier post on the exact Speedmaster models used during this mission.
