Speedmaster Professional Moonphase Apollo 11 30th Anniversary

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 closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the plexiglass crystal scratches easily but polishes back out at home, which sapphire does not. 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. 45 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

3689.30.31 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a white gold case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph and a moon phase.

Handwound chronograph movement with moonphase and date at 12 o'clock as found in the Omega Speedmaster Professional.
