Issue May 2014 Why a Collector's Guide? The Speedmaster is a timeless watch icon that has significantly evolved since its creation in 1957 and its adventure on the Moon. The fact is that sometimes it's hard to identify certain models, particularly older ones. After its several years of research and observation, the authors have created a technical, systematically and attractive book intended to become the reference work for this model. An Original Approach The major focus of this work concerns the identification of historical Speedmaster models from standard production, in an era when there were often variations in the constituent parts of a watch. Having observed that these numerous evolutions could occur independently of a change in reference number, the authors established an original nomenclature for this entire set of elements. Classifying and describing them represented a fundamental prior step toward providing a comprehensive and detailed presentation of the models. More than 1000 illustrations.
