Three variants could be found, each corresponding to a specific market and differentiated by the special engraving they would bear to the case band. The 2000 watches for the USA mention “xxxx/2000” or “xxxx/2000 APOLLO XI 1969” while the 250 pieces for Germany display “xxx/250 APOLLO XI 1969 – 1989”.
