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 about much more than space travel, Plexiglass, and Manual winding. Behind the famous Moonwatch series lies a whole universe of variants that have emerged over the decades—technically fascinating, often underappreciated, and far from fully explored by collectors.

For the first time, this book is dedicated exclusively to these models: Reduced, Date, Day-Date, and 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 viewed through the eyes of a true collector.

 For those who look deeper

This book is aimed at collectors and enthusiasts who know that watch history cannot be reduced to mere myth. Anyone who wants to understand just how diverse, technically significant, and visually distinctive the “other” Speedmasters are will find a comprehensive overview here for the first time.

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