Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional 310.32.42.50.01.001 – History
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is one of the most celebrated chronographs in watchmaking history — a model forever linked to space exploration and human achievement. Originally introduced in the late 1950s as a motorsport-inspired chronograph, the Speedmaster earned its iconic status when it became the first watch worn on the lunar surface. That legacy has shaped every subsequent Moonwatch design, forging a deep connection between precision engineering and real-world performance.
The reference 310.32.42.50.01.001 represents a modern evolution of this storied lineage. It preserves the classic Moonwatch silhouette and functional ethos while introducing contemporary materials, refined finishing, and a Co-Axial Master Chronometer certified movement — bringing modern mechanical excellence to one of the world’s most recognizable timepieces. This version also features a black dial with matching black ceramic tachymeter bezel, emphasizing the model’s timeless, purposeful aesthetic.
Design and Aesthetic
The Moonwatch 310.32.42.50.01.001 stays true to the iconic 42 mm asymmetrical case that has defined the Moonwatch for decades. Its brushed and polished surfaces deliver a dynamic interplay of textures that catch light without being overly reflective, enhancing both sportiness and sophistication.
The black dial is crisp and functional, with contrasting white markers and hands that provide strong legibility — essential for precise timing under all conditions. Three recessed subdials display running seconds, a 30-minute chronograph counter, and a 12-hour totalizer in the classic Moonwatch layout, preserving the visual and functional DNA of the original.
A fixed black ceramic bezel with a tachymeter scale anchors the dial visually and reinforces the Speedmaster’s heritage as a professional timing instrument. A sapphire crystal up front protects the dial while offering excellent clarity and durability.
At the rear, a sapphire exhibition caseback allows a view of the movement within — a detail that appeals to both enthusiasts and serious collectors.
