The Speedmaster Moonwatch 3572.50.00 (aka: 35725000), seen from the bench

The Omega Speedmaster Professional 3572.50.00 is the chronograph that shaped modern watchmaking history. Featuring the Omega 1863 manual-wind caliber with vertical chronograph and column wheel escapement, this instrument achieved NASA certification for extravehicular activities in 1965. The stainless steel satinized case measures 42mm in diameter, reflecting its original function as a wrist chronometer for critical environments. The 20mm lug width is characteristic of 1960s proportions, requiring properly fitted straps to maintain aesthetic and functional integrity.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 3572.50.00?

The 3572.50.00 features a 20mm lug width, a rare measurement in the contemporary market that reflects the constructive proportions of the 1960s. This width allows perfectly proportioned straps and bracelets without lateral protrusions on the brushed case.

Which strap pairs best with the Speedmaster Moonwatch 3572.50.00?

Alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning represent the most refined luxury choices consistent with the instrument's identity: natural patina amplifies the vintage character of the case. Alternatively, hammered nappa calf offers daily versatility, while silk NATO maintains the original functional nature of the model.

How do I change the strap on my Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 3572.50.00?

The strap is replaced by removing the spring bars connecting the lugs to the case ears, using a dedicated spring bar tool. Measure precisely the distance between the bars: it must be exactly 20mm. Insert the new strap's spring bars by applying pressure until they click into place.

Can I use aftermarket straps compatible with my 3572.50.00?

Yes, provided they are made specifically for 20mm lug width. Atelier Casati Milano and the online collection milanostraps.it offer artisanal straps compatible with the 3572.50.00, customizable in material, color, and dimensions. Always verify the lug width before purchase.

How long does a leather strap last on an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch?

The lifespan depends on frequency of use and material: vegetable-tanned leathers (alligator, shell cordovan) maintain structure and elasticity for 5-7 years with daily wear, developing an appreciable patina. Nappa calf resists for 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Casati Milano warranty on bespoke straps: 18 months.
