This Omega Speedmaster is more than just a watch; it's a link to history. It’s the kind of timepiece that was worn by giants—men like Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. These astronauts trusted the Speedmaster on their wrists as they ventured into the unknown, and this very model, though perhaps not the same one that went to the moon, is cut from the same cloth.

The Moonwatch isn’t just a timepiece; it’s a cultural icon that has graced the wrists of legends across various fields, further solidifying its place in history. Beyond the astronauts who carried it to the lunar surface, this model was also favored by figures like Tom Hanks, who famously portrayed astronaut Jim Lovell in Apollo 13 and developed a deep personal connection to the history of space exploration.

Another enthusiast was George Clooney, whose admiration for the Speedmaster stems from his own childhood dreams of space. Growing up during the height of the Apollo missions, Clooney was captivated by the Omega Speedmaster, a symbol of mankind’s greatest achievement, and has been known to wear one in his day-to-day life as well as on the red carpet.

Then there's the legendary Formula 1 driver, Ayrton Senna, known for his precision on the track and his appreciation for precision on his wrist. While Senna is often associated with Tag Heuer, he also had a strong affinity for the Speedmaster, a watch that matched his relentless pursuit of perfection and his status as one of the greatest drivers of all time.

The Business Casual Maverick
Outfit: Tailored navy wool trousers, an unstructured taupe blazer, a fine-knit merino sweater, and polished brown penny loafers.
Occasion: Morning client meetings, creative brainstorming sessions, or an espresso-fueled work session at your favorite café.

The Speedmaster’s heritage gives it an unspoken authority—never boastful, always assured. Worn under a blazer’s cuff, its Hesalite crystal and matte black dial exude understated confidence. Pair it with muted earth tones and rich textures, letting the watch bridge the space between classic and contemporary. The bracelet’s utilitarian elegance enhances a refined yet relaxed ensemble, perfect for the modern professional who moves seamlessly between formal and informal settings.

The Weekend Explorer
Outfit: Selvedge denim, a crisp white Oxford shirt, a waxed canvas field jacket, and rugged suede chukka boots.
Occasion: A scenic road trip, a Saturday afternoon at a motorsport event, or a spontaneous city adventure.

The Speedmaster thrives in motion. It was built for the extremes, and whether you're tracking your ETA on a countryside drive or timing an espresso shot at a pit stop café, it remains the ideal companion. The tool-watch DNA of the 3590.50 harmonizes effortlessly with workwear-inspired pieces—denim and waxed cotton emphasize its practicality, while the aged Tritium markers add a touch of lived-in charm. Let it peek from beneath your cuff as you reach for the steering wheel, reminding you that some things only get better with time.

The Evening Connoisseur
Outfit: A deep charcoal roll-neck sweater, pleated wool trousers, sleek black Chelsea boots, and a tailored overcoat.
Occasion: A jazz bar rendezvous, a Michelin-starred dinner, or a well-earned whiskey nightcap.

Nothing elevates an evening look quite like an iconic timepiece. The Speedmaster, with its monochromatic aesthetic and vintage warmth, brings depth to minimalist tailoring. The interplay between polished steel and the soft glow of Tritium hour markers makes it an effortless accent against the midnight hues of a refined night-time wardrobe. Whether it rests against the cuff of a cashmere coat or catches the low glow of candlelight, it adds an element of distinction that only the most storied watches can offer.

A watch that needs no introduction, the Omega Speedmaster Professional 3590.50 is a cornerstone of horological history—an icon whose legacy is etched in the stars. This particular example, dating to 1994, is a beautifully preserved specimen that embodies the last of the tritium-era Speedmasters, blending vintage appeal with modern reliability.

Case & Crystal
Encased in robust stainless steel, the 42mm case remains in excellent condition, exhibiting only the lightest signs of wear, a testament to careful ownership over the decades. The distinctive twisted lugs retain strong definition, with crisp lines and an honest finish that respects the integrity of its original form. The hesalite crystal, with its warm, organic sheen, captures light in a way no sapphire ever could, adding an unmistakable charm that defines the Speedmaster’s DNA.

Dial & Hands
A true highlight of this example is its black ‘Short S’ Tritium dial, a subtle but sought-after detail that underscores its period-correct authenticity. The tritium hands and markers have aged gracefully, developing a warm, creamy patina that enriches the watch’s character. This natural evolution gives the piece an understated warmth—an unmistakable sign of originality that collectors cherish.

Movement
Beneath the caseback beats the legendary Omega Caliber 861, a manual-wind chronograph movement that has more than proven its mettle in both terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments. The movement is in excellent mechanical condition, running strong and keeping time with precision, ensuring this Speedmaster is as reliable as it is beautiful.

Bracelet & Accessories
Completing the package is the original and period-correct 1479/812 bracelet, an essential component that adds to the watch’s authenticity and appeal. The bracelet shows only minor signs of wear, retaining solid integrity and comfort on the wrist. Even rarer, this example includes its original box and papers—first sold in Switzerland, Basel—further cementing its desirability among enthusiasts who appreciate a full set.

With its well-preserved condition, beautifully aged tritium dial, and complete set of accessories, this 1994 Speedmaster 3590.50 is a compelling example of Omega’s most storied chronograph.
