The Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary 311.10.39.30.01.001 is not only a throwback to the original Speedmaster, introduced by Omega in 1957, it’s a conversation starter. Most people associate the Speedmaster with man’s first steps on the moon in 1969, and the professional models that followed. But, the roots of the Speedmaster go back much further, and what you see here in the ref 311.10.39.30.01.001 is a true re creation of that original watch. The core DNA is clearly there, but some major details make a big difference, such as the broad arrow hands and minimal applied markings at 12 o’clock. It’s also 38mm in diameter, a touch smaller than the models NASA selected for their manned missions to space. The new model is a near carbon copy of the original, but inside is a different story, with Omega’s own caliber 1861. This watch is long since sold out after being revealed in 2017, but pre-owned examples trade between $8,000 and $9,000.
