Omega Speedmaster "Japanese Special" 3570.40

The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional (Ref. 3570.40) is one of the most sought-after 'modern vintage' Speedmasters worldwide. This model, released exclusively for the Japanese market in 2004, is a tribute to the 35th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. What immediately distinguishes this watch from the standard "Moonwatch" is its unique gray racing dial with vibrant orange and red accents—a nod to the Mark II designs of the 1970s.

Inside the classic 42mm stainless steel case, ticks the legendary OMEGA Caliber 1861. This hand-wound movement is the direct descendant of the caliber actually worn on the moon. It offers the raw, mechanical experience for which the Speedmaster is known: reliable, historically significant, and a joy to wind daily.

This particular example dates from July 2004 and is in stunning condition. The watch comes as a full set with its box and original warranty card. For the collector who desires the iconic Moonwatch case but is looking for a rare color profile that immediately stands out, this "Japanese Special" is an absolute top investment.
