Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Apollo 11 25th 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 open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 40 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.

3097.30.00 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a skeleton dial with a platinum case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 1994. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Skeletonized version of caliber 861; skeletlon work by Armin Strom. It is made with both yellow gold finish and rhodium finish.

1 other watch in the library runs the Omega 867.
