Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 311.30.42.30.01.005

Purchased this as a gift for my husband and he just loved it. Looks quite smart. We will have to have it resized but it is a very nice timepiece. Fashionable and a nice add to the collection as he says. Unsure if it's relevant but my husband has a smaller wrist so the face size is perfect. It doesn't look as if he's wearing an oversized piece.

1969 moon landing

I was 10 years old in 1969 and I can distinctly remember sitting with my classmates at primary school, huddled around a little television watching a fuzzy image as Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon. I learnt about the Omega Speedmaster soon afterwards and have wanted one ever since. This year is our 25th wedding anniversary and my wife bought me one. It is a classic piece and will be eventually be handed down to my daughter

A great watch

Not over hyped like Rolex & a real quality watch. Omega usually owned by people that know about watches & their pedigree rather than hear about them on the latest Hip Hop track!

Historic timepiece

A must have for any collector. Lineage is incredible. And was eventually the first and only watch in its time to be NASA flight certified. Get one if you can and walk around with a piece of history wrapped around your wrist.

I love this watch!!,

With the leather band, it is very comfortable. I chose a Speed-master that was as close to the original as possible. The is included the mechanical wind function and the acrylic type crystal. I know that it is not as hard as sapphire, but the scratches can easily be buffers out with a tube of Poly watch. I wish I would have purchased one of these years ago!

The Classic Moonwatch

The Speedmaster needs no real introduction for timepiece aficionados. The history of this timepiece as well as its more recent improvements make it a true bargain in terms of quality, accuracy, and price. I have owned this beauty for a bit less than three weeks, and it has gained a paltry 14s in 17 days; far within the 2s/ day COSC standard which Rolex- in particular- seems to so proud of recently. For 25% the cost of a Rolex Daytona, and with a storied history equal to or even more important than that benchmark timepiece, the Speedmaster is a must have for any serious collector of fine timepieces.

The Iconic Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.

Really looks special and can be worn with pride for any occasion. A watch that has class and looks like no other in sports watches. Time keeping is excellent, so can be relied upon when minutes matter. My only critisism is the small crown with high crown guards which make winding the watch difficult unless you have thin fingers, and even then its still not easy. It isnt really an everyday watch either due to the hesselite crystal which isnt scratch proof like industrial saphire. I think some would deduct a point due to these things, but for me I bought the watch knowing about these drawbacks and I am OK with them. I love the watch and I am happy with my purchase.

The Legend

Ive had a few Omegas over the years, Ive even been luck enough to have a few Speedys but this is the nicest one yet. I know all collectors will say to go for the hesalite crystal version, and it is a great watch. The sapphire sandwich variant does though get you the upgraded 1863 movement which looks as though the bridges etc have been hand finished and the clear back reveals some of Omegas best traditional watchmaking skills. All in all it is a great watch that, just like the astronauts 50 years ago, wont let you down.

The Most Widely Recognized Watch

The Omega Speedmaster Peofessional Moonwatch is an iconic watch. It is a very well made watch that was first introduced in 1957 I like the 42mm size and the stainless steel bracelet. It is very comfortable to wear and with the white against the black dial, easy to read. This is a watch every collector wants in their collection however anyone will enjoy this watch for many years.

Well worth the 40 year wait

Like others, I used to look at this watch in a jewelers window on the way home from school almost every day. At the time the watch cost a whopping 100. Having bought my first watch in 1991, I added to a small but much loved collection over the next 30 years. I was always confused by the myriad of Omega moon watches but finally got to buy what I learned to regard as the sensibly priced and direct descent in 2021. A great watch, not as brash, common or in your face as some prestige brands, which are still great to own and wear, but more subtle and discreet. And when you research it a great heritage and history. A must own timepiece for any collection in my humble opinion.
