Speedmaster Co-Axial Yellow Gold / Black / Olympic Collection

In Context

At 44.25 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 52 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

321.53.44.52.01.002 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a yellow gold case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Self-winding chronograph movement with Co-Axial Escapement, free sprung balance and a new generation of shock-absorber. Date, day indicator, hour, minute and continuous small seconds hands. Central chronograph hand, 30-minute totalizer, 12-hour totalizer and 7-day totalizer. Day-date change at midnight with instantaneous jump. Luxury finish with Geneva waves. Officially certified chronometer.
