About this watch

I find it astonishing to think that although delivered to the UK in January 1973 this watch was actually being manufactured whilst the last Apollo mission was taking place in December 1972

With extract from the omega archives to confirm that this watch is as it left the factory ,original 861 movement ,case ,case back ,bracelet and even glass ,

This is as near to the coveted "new old stock" as  you will ever find and in a moon watch
