This timepiece is a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the few Speedmaster models with Hesalite crystal left - in delivery condition; unworn, with the original label on the back. The watch still features the blue protective coating. The copy from the Omega archives that comes with it, shows that the watch was produced on May 12, 1997 and delivered to Switzerland. It is one of the first Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches, powered by the manual wind calibre 1861, which was introduced in 1997 replacing the legendary Omega calibre 861.
