Watch Review: OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Watch Review 311.30.42.30.01.006

When it comes to history, quality and craftmanship there is no doubt that the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch is amongst one of the best in the industry. 

The OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch is one of OMEGA'S most iconic timepieces and for obvious reasons. Having been part of all six lunar missions, this legendary Speedmaster is an impressive representation of the brand's adventurous pioneering spirit and outstanding quality; ask yourself how many other brands can claim to be the first to have a luxury timepiece on the moon? 

This OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch chronograph features a majestic black dial; covered by a scratch resistant sapphire crystal and graced by a small seconds sub-dial, 30 minute recorder and a 12 hour recorder along with a central chronograph hand. Adding to this, a black bezel features a tachymetric scale for a more accurate reading of speed based on time travelled over a fixed distance. 

The back of this timepiece also features the highly scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass, but it gets better when you look through the expedition window on the case back, you are greeted with one of the most incredible movements ever seen, the famous Calibre OMEGA 1863. This is a manual winding chronograph movement with a whopping 48-hour power reserve when fully wound. Now here is the question; how many timepieces can be used, and further to this have been tested on the moon? This movement has been tested beyond anything else and has come out unscathed, now that is quality. 

With the case diameter coming in at a comfortable 42mm, this wears incredibly well on the wrist; its slender, its elegant, its sporty and well, its everything you would want to see in a luxury timepiece and more. 

The OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch lives up to the legend story that we have all grown to love. Further to this, it has been upgraded for the modern wearer and is considered one of the best watches released to date. It is the kind of model that you feel comfortable in, one you do not need to worry about, one that you grow to love, and it becomes the sentimental piece that will live forever.
