Omega Speedmaster Professional

3… 2… 1… Liftoff! Take a poll amongst wristwatch collectors, and we'd bet the consensus would say there might be nothing more important or iconic in a watch collection than an Omega Speedmaster.  Sure, chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona or the Heuer Carrera are classics, but neither can match the stature of the Speedy with regards to importance in history. In fact, arguably no watch can. This particular Speedy, a Reference 310.30.42.50.01.001, dates to 2023 but in spirit and aesthetics, has all the elements of a classic Apollo-era watch, but more importantly, a handful of modern accoutrements. It features a 42mm stainless steel, ‘twisted-lug’ case with a domed, a Hesalite crystal, barrel chronograph pushers, a signed crown, and tachymeter bezel. The black dial features the signature triple register configuration with white accents displaying a 30-minute totalizer at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock, and a constant-seconds display at 9 o’clock. Its luminous handset and center chronograph seconds hand are mechanized by an in-house, METAS-Master Chronometer certified, manually-wound Calibre 3861. Fitted on a newly designed Speedmaster bracelet with a visually-pleasing taper that culminates at a signed clasp, this piece is wildly comfortable on the wrist. Lest we forget, this Speedy also features a 50 meter water resistance rating?! Yes, you can swim with it! In outstanding condition and showing light signs of wear from gentle use and handling, this piece delivers with all of its factory goodies — a fantastic opportunity to snag a modern Speedy at an awesome value!
