The Omega Speedmaster Apollo XI model was manufactured in August 1969 to commemorate Apollo XI's successful moon landing.
A limited and numbered edition of initially 28 pieces were engraved with the recipients name and inscription 'To Mark Man's Conquest of Space with Time, Through Time, on Time' were given to all of the active NASA astronauts during a gala dinner in Houston on the 25th of November 1969 and to US President Nixon and his Vice President Spiro Agnew. Due to the success of this model for obvious historical reasons an additional total of 1,014 were produced until 1972 with the engraved dedication Omega Speedmaster - Apollo XI 1969, the first watch worn on the moon and numbered.
There are three different types of engraving: thin and unpainted for approximately the first 100 examples, then thick and unpainted and finally thick and painted with a burgundy colour, which complements its burgundy coloured bezel.
