The blue ceramic dial on this piece is even more striking in person than photographs suggest — it has a depth and richness that photos simply cannot capture. Paired with 18k yellow gold hands and indices, the contrast is genuinely stunning. Both the bezel and dial are ceramic, meaning long-term scratch resistance and colour stability that aluminium or painted dials simply cannot match. At 42mm it wears perfectly — substantial without being oversized.

Overseas, comparable examples are consistently selling for considerably more than the asking price here – cheapest at time of writing is over $12k plus import and GST – so well over $13k. Speedmaster limited editions in this tier have demonstrated steady appreciation, and the Apollo 17 commemorative is one of the most recognised and desirable references in the modern Speedmaster catalogue.

Special notes: This example carries a known box text variation — “manking” rather than “mankind” — making it a standout even within a limited edition of 1,972 pieces. For serious collectors, these production anomalies are exactly what distinguishes one example from another and tend to add significant long-term interest. A collector’s quirk that makes this one genuinely special.

If you’re looking for something with real horological heritage, distinctive character, and strong appreciation potential alongside your Rolex — or as an alternative to one — this is well worth serious consideration. The Speedmaster went to the moon. This edition marks the 45th anniversary of one of the greatest missions in history. Complete collector’s set, ceramic dial and bezel, 18k gold hands, and a production detail that sets this example apart. A considered purchase for the discerning collector.
