Speedmaster Moonwatch Steel Black Dial 39mm

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch (ref. 311.30.40.30.01.001) pays tribute to one of the most storied chronographs in space exploration history – the model worn by Ed White during the first American spacewalk in 1965. Faithful to its third-generation predecessor, this modern reissue preserves the original’s proportions and design language, including the stepped black dial, vintage-style applied logo, and dot-over-90 tachymeter scale.

Housed in a 39.7mm stainless-steel case, the watch features a black polished ceramic bezel with a tachymeter scale rendered in white enamel. The manually wound calibre 321—meticulously reconstructed by Omega from original schematics—powers the watch with historical accuracy and 55 hours of reserve. Visible through a sapphire caseback, it recalls the very movement used in NASA-qualified Speedmasters of the 1960s. Water-resistance is rated to 50 m.

Though not a numbered limited edition, the ref. 311.30.40.30.01.001 remains highly sought after for its direct lineage to the original Moonwatch and revival of the legendary calibre 321. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it offers an uncommon blend of technical reverence and refined vintage detail.
