Info on new Speedmaster with saphire crystal front

Hi all,
for those of you interested in the Speedmasters, I had emailed Omega with questions on the model numbers and which ones had display backs. Isabelle said they are coming out with a new speedy that has a saphire display back and a saphire crystal in front.

Omega Says:

"Both are with regard to the Omega Speedmaster Professional - Original
Moonwatch. The ref. 3572.50 has a sapphire crystal back, which means that
the movement, cal. 1863, is visible. This movement is a "luxury" version of
the standard one (cal. 1861, ref. 3570.50) which is used in transparent back
models as well as in all Gold models of the Speedmaster Moonwatch. They are
fitted with a hesalite crystal. The new models, however, has a sapphire
crystal on both sides (ref. 3573.50). First Omega deliveries by September
2002."
