The Omega Speedmaster Apollo Moonwatch reference 311.30.42.30.01.002 is a special edition timepiece created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, the historic first manned moon landing. Released in 2009 as a limited run of 7,969 pieces, this watch pays tribute to the momentous achievement of July 21, 1969, when humanity first set foot on the lunar surface. The watch boasts a 42mm round stainless steel case with the signature black bezel that is a hallmark of the Moonwatch collection. Its black dial is adorned with luminescent hour markers for enhanced readability in low light conditions, and it is further distinguished by the Apollo 11 mission patch prominently positioned at the 9 o’clock subdial, adding a unique and celebratory touch to the timepiece. The case back also features the Apollo 11 patch along with engravings that read "The First Watch Worn on the Moon" and "July 21, 1969,". This engraving commemorates the exact date when astronaut Neil Armstrong first stepped onto the lunar surface, marking one of the most significant moments in human history.. At the heart of this commemorative watch lies the calibre 1861 manual-wind mechanical movement. The calibre 1861 was enhanced with a more corrosion-resistant rhodium-plating. This Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, reference 311.30.42.30.01.002, comes with a stainless steel bracelet and a folding clasp, providing both security and comfort for the wearer. The use of plexiglass, rather than sapphire crystal, on the dial further underscores its fidelity to the original design specifications of the Speedmaster watches worn on the moon. Omega has been a trusted partner in the realm of space exploration, a legacy that continues to this day. From the early days of NASA's space program to the present, the Omega Speedmaster has been an essential tool for astronauts, playing a critical role in missions that push the boundaries of human achievement. The 311.30.42.30.01.002 model stands as a proud reminder of this heritage, celebrating the courage, innovation, and determination that characterized the Apollo 11 mission and the subsequent achievements in space exploration.
