Speedmaster Moonwatch Anniversary Red Gold

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. 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. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 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.

311.63.42.50.01.001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a red gold case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 2007. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Based on caliber 3313 but hand-wound; column wheel chronograph with co-axial escapement.
