Scholars have divided the model production into four distinct series, with a pre-series 25 pieces limited edition created to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the well-known retailer Beyer (these rare models feature a distinctive gilt dial with the series number individually printed).The four series have been categorized as follows:-First Series: Characterized by sunken subsidiary dials as well as a solid case back. -Second Series: Introduced the beveled subsidiary dials, and equipped with a solid case back with additional sapphire back available.-Third Series: Introduced a cross to separate the leap year indication, and equipped with a sapphire case back with additional solid case back available. -Fourth Series: Characterized by the "σ Swiss σ" writing aligned with the minute track dots (the present example).

This limited series features movement serial numbers ranging between 39.180.xxx and 39.181.xxx. Actually, the Apollo-Soyuz watches were not a commercial success, and the distributor did not reach the objective of selling all the pieces, deciding to export some of them to other countries with no limited edition number engraved (which was made locally in Italy), such as the present watch.

limited edition bronze on wooden base, signed and inscribed AP 28cm tall Note 1: This work was cast in Edinburgh in an edition of 9, plus 4 Artist Proofs. Note 2: John Byrne studied at both Edinburgh and Glasgow Schools of Art in the late 50s and early 60s. A superb painter and draughtsman, the multi-talented Byrne was also a first-class playwright (‘The Slab Boys’, ‘Tutti Frutti’), his ear for dialogue was as acute (and witty) as his eye for detail. Much of his subject matter in both disciplines is overtly autobiographical, he often included or refers to the Teddy Boy/Rock and Roll era of his youth. Byrne designed record covers for Donovan, The Beatles, Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly. His work is held in major collections in Scotland and abroad. Several of his paintings hang in The Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, the Museum of Modern Art and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.

But it is for his highly detailed and striking landscapes that he is best known, his original work and limited edition prints being collected by enthusiasts all over the world. Born in the Kyle of Lochalsh, on Scotland’s West Coast, Donald Shearer studied painting in Aberdeen at Grays School of Art where he achieved the RSA Award. He exhibited widely including at the RGI and at The Royal Scottish Academy. RSA records show his first painting was shown in 1959 when his address was 7 Simpson Place, Dingwall and from 1979 onwards he was living at "Rossal", Seabank Road, Invergordon. After more than thirty years, his final painting at the RSA was exhibited in 1990.
