🔎 Case Notes

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Ref. 310.32.42.50.01.001 stands as the modern continuation of one of the most important chronographs ever created. Faithful to the watch worn during NASA’s Apollo missions, this reference preserves the historic Moonwatch design while incorporating subtle, meaningful modern refinements.

The stepped black dial, dot-over-90 tachymeter bezel, and hesalite crystal maintain the unmistakable Moonwatch profile. Paired here with a black nylon strap, the watch takes on a utilitarian, mission-ready character that aligns perfectly with its tool-watch heritage.

This example is offered in very good pre-owned condition and includes its full kit, making it a strong choice for collectors who value both presentation and provenance. Light, honest signs of careful wear are present throughout, including minor surface marks to the hesalite crystal that are visible only under certain light, consistent with normal use of this material. The dial and bezel remain clean and well preserved.

🌕 The Moonwatch Legacy

No chronograph carries the historical gravity of the Speedmaster. Selected by NASA after exhaustive testing and worn during every crewed lunar landing, the Moonwatch earned its reputation through real-world performance rather than marketing.

This reference preserves that legacy while introducing modern engineering upgrades — all without disturbing the iconic design language collectors continue to value.


🌟 Collector Provenance

Full-kit examples of the modern Moonwatch remain highly desirable, offering completeness and long-term collectability. The nylon strap configuration emphasizes comfort and reinforces the Speedmaster’s utilitarian roots.


🌟 Celebrity Provenance

The Speedmaster’s association with astronauts is unmatched, and its cultural presence extends far beyond space exploration. It has long been worn by engineers, creatives, and public figures drawn to its understated design and authentic history.
