The OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch is one of the world’s most iconic timepieces. Having been a part of all six moon landings, the legendary chronograph is an impressive representation of the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit. Presented on a brushed five-arched-links-per-row bracelet, this 42 mm Moonwatch in stainless steel features hesalite glass on the front and an embossed Seahorse medallion on the caseback.
Inspired by the 4th generation Speedmaster style worn on the moon, it also includes an asymmetrical case, black step dial and the famous dot over 90 on the anodised aluminium bezel ring. The watch is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, which powers the small seconds sub-dial, 30-minute recorder and 12-hour recorder, along with the central chronograph function.

Since its introduction in 1957, the Speedmaster has established itself as one of the most iconic timepieces in horological history. Its selection by NASA in 1965 as the official watch for space missions cemented its legendary status, culminating in its presence during the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing. As the first watch worn on the moon, the Speedmaster earned the nickname “Moonwatch” and became forever linked with humanity’s greatest adventure. The current Speedmaster Professional preserves this extraordinary heritage, celebrating the pioneering spirit that took mankind to the moon while showcasing OMEGA’s continued commitment to innovation with its Master Chronometer certification and advanced materials technology.
The Calibre 3861 represents a significant evolution of the legendary Calibre 1861 that powered the Speedmasters worn on the moon. While maintaining the same basic architecture to preserve its historic connection, the 3861 incorporates several important advancements. Most notably, it features the Co-Axial escapement, reducing friction and improving long-term accuracy and reliability. Additionally, it includes a silicon balance spring providing exceptional resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. These enhancements, along with other refinements, allow the movement to achieve the stringent Master Chronometer certification by METAS – the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology. This certification represents one of the industry’s most demanding standards, testing the complete watch for precision, magnetic resistance, water resistance, and power reserve performance.
Hesalite is a proprietary acrylic crystal developed specifically for professional applications where shatter resistance is critical. Unlike standard sapphire crystals which can shatter under extreme impact, Hesalite will crack rather than shatter into potentially dangerous fragments – a crucial safety feature for astronauts operating in the vacuum of space. Beyond its practical benefits, Hesalite provides a warm, vintage aesthetic with unique light-catching properties that many collectors prefer over modern sapphire alternatives. The Hesalite crystal on the Speedmaster features the iconic OMEGA logo etched in its centre, creating a subtle hallmark visible only at certain angles. This authentic detail maintains the direct lineage to the original Moonwatch and represents OMEGA’s commitment to historical accuracy in this legendary timepiece.
While incorporating modern advancements, this Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional maintains faithful connections to the original Speedmaster Professional worn during the Apollo missions. The classic 42mm case with twisted lugs, the black stepped dial with triple-register layout, and the manual-winding chronograph movement all honour the original design. Special touches like the dot over ninety (DON) and dot diagonal to seventy on the tachymeter scale replicate details found on vintage models. The bracelet design draws inspiration from the reference 1039 bracelets from the period, updated with modern construction techniques for improved durability and comfort. These careful historical references ensure that while benefiting from contemporary watchmaking technology, this limited edition remains authentically connected to its illustrious predecessor that made history in 1969.
This Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional comes with the complete OMEGA presentation box set containing several significant extras. Most notably, it includes the original warranty documentation valid until 2029, providing exceptional peace of mind. The watch features the iconic Hesalite crystal with the OMEGA logo etched at its centre. The caseback displays the famous Seahorse medallion, symbolising the watch’s water resistance and connection to OMEGA’s professional heritage. Each detail has been meticulously crafted to honour both the original specifications and the historical significance of this legendary chronograph.
The Master Chronometer certification by METAS represents a comprehensive testing regimen that ensures exceptional performance in real-world conditions. Each watch undergoes eight rigorous tests examining qualities like precision, resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, and power reserve performance. For owners, this certification translates to superior reliability and accuracy in daily wear, regardless of the environmental challenges the watch may encounter. The anti-magnetic properties are particularly valuable in our modern world filled with electronic devices that can affect traditional mechanical watches. This certification demonstrates OMEGA’s commitment to creating not just historically significant timepieces, but technically superior instruments that meet the demands of contemporary life.
The Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional represents one of watchmaking’s most collectable models. Its combination of direct connection to one of humanity’s greatest achievements, the milestone it celebrates, the technical advancements it incorporates, and the thoughtful design details throughout suggest strong long-term collectability. Speedmasters typically attract particular interest from collectors, especially those marking important anniversaries of historical events. Additionally, the immaculate condition of this example, complete with its original packaging and warranty documentation, further enhances its desirability for serious collectors seeking pristine examples of historically significant timepieces.
