Speedy Tuesday - Speedmaster Albino With the Italian MarketSpeedmaster Albino - White Dial Speedmaster with the 40th AnniversaryRemember our Speedy Tuesday article about Speedmasters with white dials (just click here), we already included the Speedmaster Albino, or 'Bianco Italiano' there. However, in this week's Speedy Tuesday installment I have to focus a lttle bit on that particular model.Speedmaster Professional 3593.20Officially introduced as being the Omega Speedmaster Professional with reference 3593.20 for that model on the bracelet, reference 3893.20 for that watch on a leather strap. Omega released this watch for that Italian market only, in 500 pieces, to commemorate the 40th anniversary with the Speedmaster in 1997. You may already know, this icon had been introduced in 1957. Omega possesses his own ways with commemorative editions, but not these people speak with the imagination of collectors, nevertheless Speedmaster Albino certainly can count on a lot of fans.Cream DialAlthough we mentioned the Speedmaster Albino in the 'White Dial' Speedmaster overview, it happens to be an off-white dial. The place that the Alaska Project and Snoopy Silver Award have been white dials, that one is more perfectly into a cream color. It offers black hands for great contrast, with Super Lumi-Nova. The dial has become applied with black Super-LumiNova. In 1997, Omega started using Super-LumiNova for Speedmasters (and other models), which means you watch was among the initial references to accomplish this.Some FirstsReference 3573.50 was the primary watch as a 'sapphire sandwich', meaning a sapphire crystal within the front as opposed to a Hesalite crystal, and a sapphire caseback. This Speedmaster Albino can also be a 'sapphire sandwich', which enables you to admire the caliber 1863 movement inside. The caliber 1863 movement was also first introduced in 1997, like the usage of Super-LumiNova.Caliber 1863 MovementBased around the caliber 1861, the caliber 1863 was the 'luxury finish' version for Speedmaster replica watches which has a display back. It features the Ctes de Geneve within the bridges for example, and some parts are actually polished and handle for visual enjoyment. The former version was caliber 863, which ran from 1985 till 1997. Caliber 1863 was the 1st in a row to have a rhodium finish (like its brother 1861, with less optical finishing). That is not entirely true, because caliber 861L(uxury finish) has also been rhodium-plated, however that was only completed in a very limited and occasional number, with the Apollo XI numbered edition 'Speedmaster Stafford' watch of 1980.Bracelet and BoxThe Omega Speedmaster 3593.20 originally included a bracelet, reference 1499 (some have 1498). A predecessor of Omega's current bracelet, but nearly identical. It were the last versions that did not have pushers to push out a the clasp. The Speedmaster Pro 3983 watch piguet .20 experienced a black leather strap cheap replica watches . The correct box for the Omega Speedmaster Albino will be the black leather box. This box has been employed often for special or limited editions. And also Speedmaster '57 Replica included this box.Some ThoughtsThe Omega Speedmaster Albino or Bianco Italiano is one kind of the best limited editions. Only 500 pieces were created, which means you won't look at them approaching available for sale that often. If they do, they fetch interesting prices. This past year there was one around the Omega Forums between $9,000 USD, that includes box and papers. Speedmasters are hot as well as the market is crazy for them right now. I don't notice that that is disappearing anytime soon.MarketEspecially once the vintage market (CK2998, 105.003, 105.012, 145.012 etc) is drying up, I foresee a focus on the limited editions like the Omega Speedmaster Albino or Project Alaska for instance. The same might go with the Speedmaster Professional models with the 1980s and early 1990s, with tritium dial and hands. Some of them may still be found with box and papers, replica patek philippe books watches in particular those from your 1990s. It might become a popular trend in the foreseeable future to recover these, the pre-Super-LumiNova and caliber 1861/1863 models.Thank you very much to the Davidoff brothers in Geneva permit us use their Speedmaster Albino. replica breitling watches for sale uk
