I always loved this iteration of the Speedmaster chronograph limited edition moonwatch and was lucky to find one at the boutique . Limited to 1972 pcs , this Apollo 17 has a sterling silver dial . Thanks to Omega boutique staff at the Bond Street they were generous to make this purchase a memorable one ... I got a black nato for it
And some lovely gifts for the family .

I had requested them but was not successful . They usually get what I want but Alaska being an older model and sold out was not possible so far. Impossible is nothing !

I’m amazed that they found one as it was issued several years ago.

First time in years I haven't been to London and the likes of Bond St, Selfridges, Oxford St and Harrods to look at watches in December. Look forward to the next time I can travel. Did they let you know when the snoopy will be out for release? Cheers S
