The replica Omega Speedmaster Professional is most popular of the lot due to its historic connections with the Apollo moon landings, but comes in a number of different editions with varied potential buyers. For the space lovers (and Pink Floyd fans), there is a blacked out “ Dark Side of the Moon” edition that has a case made out of a single block of black zirconium oxide ceramic.
There is also a “ Silver Snoopy Award” edition that commemorates the honor by the same name given by the astronauts on the famed Apollo 13 mission to Omega in recognition of excellence and the Professional’s usefulness as a tool used in getting them back to earth safely. Fans of Formula 1 will flock to the Michael Schumacher editions and others who enjoy the model’s design will be pleased to know there are dozens of other editions that pop up from time to time on eBay.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional is the most subdued and buyers looking for the next step towards the future may enjoy the Mark II. With a streamlined case compared to the Professional, this model looks great when placed on a nato strap and was released in 1969. Just looking at it gives visions of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and it can be had for well below the price of a comparable Professional.
