Introduced at Baselworld 2013 and only produced for a brief period, this distinctive Omega Speedmaster had earned the nickname “Tintin” among collectors, a nod to the famous comic series by Hergé. Originally, it was conceived through a collaboration between Omega and the Hergé estate. The watch was meant to depict Tintin’s trip to the moon, paying tribute to the red and white checkered rocket – a pattern echoed on the dial. The initial concept also included a spacecraft motif on the dial and a unique case back. However, the partnership was called off before the official launch, and the watch was never brought to market. Left with a supply of these dials, Omega released the watch without any Tintin branding. Subtle differences still set it apart from standard Speedmaster models – most notably the use of red paint rather than black for the engraving on the case back.

The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold "as is," in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Christie's or by the seller. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different in print or on screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason they are not an alternative to examining a lot in person or taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
