Overview
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch reference 3570.50.00 represents one of the longest-running and most recognisable configurations of the iconic Speedmaster line. Housed in a 42 mm stainless steel case and powered by the hand-wound calibre 1861, it pairs a classic black dial with the tri-compax chronograph layout that has defined the model since the 1960s. For collectors, this reference distils the Speedmaster Professional to its purest, most historically grounded expression.
History
The 3570.50.00 entered production in 1996 and remained in Omega's catalogue for nearly two decades, making it one of the most widely encountered Speedmaster Professional references among collectors. It succeeded earlier references in the long lineage of hand-wound Speedmasters that trace their heritage to the original 1957 Broad Arrow and the NASA-qualified models of the 1960s. The calibre 1861 at its heart is a refined descendant of the cal. 321 and cal. 861, retaining the column-wheel architecture and lateral clutch that have characterised the movement family across generations. Its extended production run means examples span a broad range of condition and provenance, sustaining consistent collector interest well after its discontinuation.
Notable points
- Calibre 1861 is a hand-wound lever-escapement movement with a column wheel, direct descendant of the storied cal. 861 used in NASA-era Speedmasters.
- The 42 mm stainless steel case follows the asymmetric Speedmaster case shape with integrated pump pushers and a hesalite (acrylic) crystal on standard versions.
- Black multi-register dial retains the classic tri-compax layout: 45-minute and 12-hour totalizers flanking a running seconds subdial.
- Produced from 1996 to approximately 2014, the 3570.50.00 is one of the longest-lived single references in the modern Speedmaster Professional catalogue.
- The reference is often cited as the quintessential 'entry point' into hand-wound Speedmaster collecting due to its historical fidelity and broad availability.
