Of course, lume color, an applied logo dial and dot over 90 bezel weren’t selling points in 1970 - at all. What attracted people to the Speedmaster was the simple fact that it was the choice of NASA and worn by astronauts. How cool that you could buy NASA equipment at your, “everyday jewelry store.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNowadays it’s the opposite. When choosing a Speedmaster, the details matter. So many nuances have been identified, which is part of the fun of collecting Speedmasters. It’s easy to get caught up in these details - and you should!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut don’t forget that what made the Speedmaster popular - the reason it’s collectible - has every bit to do with the fact that it’s predominantly the space watch. This Omega ad, and many others like it, helped liftoff the Speedmaster into horological history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFramed with shade of white matting to compliment tones of paper.
