Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Steel Mens Watch 3592.50.00

Initially introduced in 1957 as a racing watch, the Speedmaster gained legendary status after accompanying the crew of Apollo 11 to the surface of the Moon in 1969. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore the 105.012 model, while Michael Collins wore the later 145.012 during this historic mission.

The ref. 3592.50.00 is closely related to these iconic models and was introduced in 1989, maintaining the classic design elements such as the shatterproof hesalite crystal, black dial with white accents, and combination of 30-minute, 12-hour, and small seconds sub-dials. 

The only significant difference lies in the use of a sapphire case back, which allows a view of the manually-wound caliber 863, earning it the nickname “De Luxe” for its luxurious mechanical exhibition.

This exquisite vintage timepiece is a rare and timeless addition to the 1989-1995 international collection. Possessing the hallmarks of the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, this model is the ideal complement to a sophisticated wardrobe — yet it’s also reliable for tougher everyday situations.

Crafted in steel, this watch features a distinctive Roadster design with a tonneau-shaped case and prominent chronograph pushers. The XL size of the watch lends it a bold and commanding presence on the wrist, making it a statement accessory for any ensemble. 

Powered by reliable automatic movement, the Cartier Roadster XL Chronograph W62019X6 ensures accurate timekeeping with the renowned craftsmanship and attention to detail associated with the Cartier brand. The silvered dial contrasts beautifully with the silver-toned steel case and bracelet, while the iconic Cartier Roman numeral markers and blue hands add a touch of sophistication.
