Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Review: A Legend on Your Wrist
Admin
Watch Enthusiast
The Omega Speedmaster Professional, known as the "Moonwatch," holds a unique place in horological history as the first watch worn on the lunar surface. We review the current reference 310.30.42.50.01.001.
Design & Heritage
The Speedmaster's design has remained remarkably consistent since 1957. The 42mm stainless steel case, black dial with applied indices, and tachymeter bezel create an iconic aesthetic. The asymmetrical case with twisted lugs adds vintage charm.
Rating: 5/5
Movement
The Caliber 3861 represents a significant upgrade over the legendary 1861. It features Co-Axial escapement, Master Chronometer certification, and 50-hour power reserve. The movement is visible through a sapphire caseback - a first for the Moonwatch Professional.
