Not a Moonwatch

Not a Moonwatch – Collecting the Unconventional

The definitive guide to all Speedmaster models that never went to the moon.

The history of the Speedmaster is far more than just space travel, Plexiglas, and manual winding. Behind the famous Moonwatch series lies a whole universe of variants that have emerged over the decades—technically fascinating, often underestimated, and far from fully explored by collectors.

For the first time, this book is dedicated exclusively to these models: Reduced, Date, Day Date, Racing. It documents over 50 references, explains 15 calibers, compares variants, provides guidance on operation, and presents each watch in meticulous detail—clearly structured and with the eye of a true collector.

Not a marketing brochure—but a genuine tool for informed decisions.
