40 years after the last man set foot on the moon, Omega releases the Speedmaster Moonwatch “Apollo XVII” 40th Anniversary Limited Edition to commemorate Captain Eugene Sternan commander of the Apollo XVII. The Speedmaster is engraved with the details of that historic moonwalk, “THE LAST MAN ON THE MOON”, “DECEMBER 14, 1972”, “APOLLO XVII”, “40TH ANNIVERSARY” and the limited edition number falling somewhere between 1 and the 1,972 pieces allowed.

The dial is stamped with the Apollo XVII patch showing a picture of a man, the future, the Recollection of Apollo, and the flag. The face contains black hands operating on OMEGA”s 1861 calibre manual wind within a 42mm sapphire crystal with a stainless steel back and bracelet.
