Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary (310.20.42.50.01.001)

The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary 310.20.42.50.01.001 is a unique tribute to one of humanity’s greatest achievements – the first manned landing on the Moon in 1969. Released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, this limited-edition model combines rich history, luxurious finishing, and modern technology, making it not only a timepiece but also a collector’s piece of watchmaking. The 42mm case is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, and its finish combines brushed and polished surfaces, giving the watch an elegant yet technical character. The bezel, crafted from 18k Moonshine™ gold – Omega’s innovative alloy, brighter and more fade-resistant than traditional yellow gold – is a striking feature. A black ceramic insert engraved with a tachymeter scale coated with OMEGA Ceragold™ ceramic is a striking feature. The matte black dial, textured to resemble the lunar surface, is adorned with subtle gold details. The hands and indexes are crafted from the same Moonshine™ gold, while contrasting totalizers arranged in the classic 3-6-9 arrangement add depth and excellent legibility. At 9 o’clock, a unique inlay depicting astronaut Neil Armstrong descending the Lunar Lander’s ladder is microengraved in 18K gold, a symbolic nod to a pivotal moment in the Apollo 11 mission. The watch is powered by the modern Omega Master Chronometer Co-Axial Caliber 3861, which combines the legendary architecture of Speedmaster manual-winding calibers with the latest technological advancements. It utilizes a Co-Axial escapement, a Si14 silicon balance spring, and has passed rigorous METAS certification, offering resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, excellent precision, and a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. The watch’s caseback is crafted from sapphire crystal and features the inscription “That’s one small step for a man – one giant leap for mankind,” encircling the symbolic footprint of an astronaut’s footprint on the lunar surface. The watch is limited to 6,969 pieces worldwide. The stainless steel bracelet, with center links featuring polished accents and a butterfly clasp, was designed specifically for this model and evokes the style of bracelets from the late 1960s. For additional personalization, the watch comes in a special collector’s box containing an additional textile strap inspired by NASA missions and a tool for changing it. Water-resistant to 50 meters (5 bar), the Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary 310.20.42.50.01.001 not only commemorates a historic event, but also represents a sophisticated timepiece that connects the legend with the future. It’s a watch for enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who wants to wear a piece of space history on their wrist – with pride, precision, and exceptional style.
