2018 Omega Speedmaster First Omega in Space - Japan Dial Conversion

The Speedmaster ref. CK 2998 was the first Omega to reach space, when astronaut Walter ‘Wally’ Schirra wore the watch during the 'Sigma 7' mission of the Mercury Programme in 1962. Schirra had purchased the watch for his own use, but two and a half years later, the Speedmaster would be officially certified by NASA for all manned-missions, launching it into history.
 
This particular FOIS has had a Japan dial and hand modification. These dials are now exchange only from Omega and have become expensive on the secondary  market. The original dial and hands are included.  The cost of the dial and handset is currently £3300.
 
This watch can be sold as a standard FOIS - Please contact me to discuss this.
