1996 Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 35905000 Box and Papers – Fully Serviced by Omega

Info

The Omega Speedmaster Professional is a timeless icon, best known for its connection to NASA’s space missions, particularly the Apollo program. The reference 3590.50.00, produced between 1989 and 1996, is one of the most sought-after and appreciated versions by collectors and watch enthusiasts.

One of the features that makes it particularly loved is its vintage charm, expressed through the tritium lume on the markers. Over time, the tritium develops a unique sandy patina, giving the dial a distinctive beauty and a “bewitching” appearance. This vintage look is one of the most sought-after elements for those looking for a timepiece with a true connection to the past.

At the heart of this model is the iconic Omega 861 manual-winding movement, based on the Lemania 1873, known for its robustness and precision. The 861 movement, with its golden finish, is one of the features that makes the watch particularly captivating, adding even more value to the Omega Speedmaster Professional, especially for collectors.

Transitional Model:

This Omega Speedmaster Professional 3590.50.00 is one of the last examples produced in 1996, just before the definitive transition to the next reference, the 3570.50.00. This reference represents an important transition, as the last examples of the 3590.50.00 saw the switch from the Omega reference 1479 bracelet to the Omega reference 1499 bracelet. The new 1499 bracelet, compared to the 1479, offers a more comfortable fit and a more secure clasp, making the watch even more practical and comfortable to wear. The rest of the features remain unchanged from the original 3590.50.00 produced in 1989.

Case, Bracelet, Dial & Glass

The case of the watch is in excellent condition, with no noticeable signs of wear, thanks to the professional polishing carried out during the last service. The tachymeter bezel is also in flawless condition, with only faint signs of wear that are practically invisible to the naked eye, maintaining its elegant, timeless appearance.

The Omega bracelet, reference 1499 with 842 end links, is composed of 14 links and is in outstanding condition. Its shine has been restored with careful polishing, and its structure remains intact, with no visible signs of wear. Suitable for wrists up to approximately 18 cm in circumference, the bracelet shows only a slight stretch.

The black dial is in excellent condition, with the indices and details perfectly legible.

The plastic (hesalite) crystal, replaced during the service, is brand new.
