Fratellowatches<\/a>)<\/p>\nThe Speedmaster Apollo-Soyuz is the only known model on which the pushers have a diameter of 5,5mm instead of 5mm. \u00a0Consequently, the case is also specific and has been modified in order to receive these oversized pushers.<\/p>\n
Below, we can clearly see the size difference if we compare with a classic Speedmaster 145022.<\/p>\n

So, why does my Speedmaster also have these particular pushers ? \u00a0I think that when the Apollo-Soyuz were assembled, some “classic” speedies assembled at exactly the same time may have received the same case. \u00a0It is also interesting to look at the serial numbers. \u00a0Apollo-Soyuz speedies are numbered between 39.180.xxx and 39.181.xxx, and mine is in the same range (39.180.8xx). \u00a0I even found a Soyuz produced at less than 100 units of interval (39.180.9xx).<\/p>\n

Today I’m writing about my latest find : a Speedmaster reference 145022-74 in original condition, never restored. This watch looks quite ordinary at first glance, but it actually has an extremely rare feature : its pushers are identical to those on the famous Speedmaster “Apollo-Soyuz” from 1976.
