Omega Speedmaster 311.30.42.30.01.005

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 311.30.42.30.01.005 is a horological icon that faithfully preserves the legendary design worn by NASA astronauts during the Apollo lunar missions. This 42mm stainless steel chronograph features the signature matte black step dial with applied hour markers and the historic tri-compax layout, including a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, 30-minute recorder at 3 o’clock, and 12-hour recorder at 6 o’clock, all powered by the manual-winding Caliber 1861 movement – the direct descendant of the movement that went to the moon. The black aluminum bezel with its white enamel tachymeter scale maintains the authentic 1960s aesthetic while providing precise speed calculations. The Hesalite plexiglass crystal offers the same warm distortion and shatter-resistant properties as the original space-worn models, creating a genuine vintage wearing experience. The broad arrow hands and dot-over-90 bezel marking are faithful recreations of the historic Moonwatch details, with luminous material ensuring readability in all conditions. The stainless steel bracelet features the classic flat-link design with folding clasp that replicates the 1960s configuration, providing both comfort and historical accuracy. Water-resistant to 50 meters, this watch retains its professional tool-watch capabilities while honoring its extraordinary heritage. As the only watch certified by NASA for all manned space missions and the first watch worn on the lunar surface, this Speedmaster represents a pinnacle of human achievement and Omega’s watchmaking excellence. Whether worn as a tribute to space exploration history, a precision timing instrument, or a statement of horological passion, this Moonwatch stands as a testament to Omega’s commitment to preserving its legendary design. With its perfect 42mm proportions, authentic vintage details, and manual-winding mechanical heart, the Speedmaster Professional 311.30.42.30.01.005 is destined to be cherished by collectors and enthusiasts as both a functional chronograph and a priceless piece of spacefaring history.
