Omega Speedmaster Professional

3… 2… 1… Liftoff! Take a poll amongst wristwatch collectors, and we'd bet the consensus would be that there’s nothing more important or iconic in a watch collection than an Omega Speedmaster.  Sure, chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona or the Heuer Carrera are classics — icons, even — but neither can match the stature of the Speedy with regards to importance in history. Arguably no watch can. This particular Speedy Pro, a Reference 3590.50, might date from the early 1990s, but it has all the elements of a classic, Apollo-era watch in both spirit and aesthetics, It features a 41mm stainless steel ’twisted-lug’ case with a Hesalite crystal, a signed crown, pump pushers, a black aluminum tachymeter bezel insert, and an excellent, matte-black tritium dial with a matching handset displaying a beautiful, even patination. This piece also comes fitted to a stainless steel bracelet with a signed blade clasp.  Powered by the manually-wound Calibre 861 movement, the Reference 3590.50 is a venerable classic in its own right and is the poster child for neo-vintage watch collecting. It has character and patina for days while remaining thoroughly modern in construction — in short, a perfect everyday watch for those seeking an elevated wearing experience!
