The Sapphire Sandwich: VSF Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 3573.50.00
At the heart of this historic timepiece lies VSF’s masterfully recreated A1863 manual-winding chronograph movement, engineered to mirror the genuine Omega Cal.1863 down to the smallest detail. This hand-assembled movement features the correct column-wheel mechanism, Geneva waves decoration, and blued screws that define the Moonwatch legacy. Unlike inferior replicas with unstable chronograph functions, VSF’s A1863 delivers precise timekeeping, crisp chronograph engagement, and the satisfying tactile feedback of manual winding that purists demand.
✅ Functionality: Manual Winding, Chronograph (30min/12hr registers), Small Seconds at 9, Tachymeter Scale
✅ Reliability: Heat-resistant components, anti-magnetic properties, and authentic movement architecture that matches the 1969 moon landing-era design
THE BUILD
VSF has replicated the legendary 42mm Speedmaster case with exacting precision, capturing the original’s robust yet elegant profileOMEGA®. The lugs feature the correct brushing pattern, while the chronograph pushers offer the iconic “click” feel that has been tested in space. The integrated steel bracelet includes solid end links and the historic Omega folding clasp, providing a secure fit and authentic weight that pays homage to the watch worn on the moon.
The matte black dial features the classic three-subdial layout (30min at 3, 12hr at 6, small seconds at 9) with applied hour markers and luminous baton hands that glow with Super-LumiNova clarity. VSF has meticulously reproduced the font on the subdial scales and tachymeter bezel to match the genuine 3573.50.00, right down to the Omega logo placement and vintage “Professional” text.
The iconic black aluminum bezel with engraved tachymeter scale is recreated with perfect color accuracy and depth. VSF uses high-grade aluminum that won’t fade or scratch easily, with crisp engravings that provide the same readability as the original moonwatch. The bezel action offers the precise 120-click rotation that professional pilots and astronauts relied on.
What makes this reference truly special is its “Sapphire Sandwich” construction—VSF has fitted both front and back with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The exhibition caseback reveals the beautifully decorated A1863 movement, allowing you to admire the oscillating rotor and intricate gear train while paying tribute to the watch’s space heritageOMEGA®.
