The Omega Speedmaster, while gaining the moniker of 'Moonwatch' for its role in the NASA space program, first featured an actual moon phase complication in 1985.
The reference 345.0809 was introduced that year and was in production until 1988 and made in less than 1,300 units. The reference contained a modified caliber 861, the cal. 866, which also added a date.
