Omega Speedmaster Anniversary Series - First One in Space 310.30.40.50.06.001

Overview 

The Omega Speedmaster Anniversary Series reference 310.30.40.50.06.001, fondly known as the "First Omega in Space," is a direct and faithful tribute to the iconic Speedmaster CK2998 worn by astronaut Wally Schirra in 1962. This special model embraces a pure, vintage aesthetic, set apart by its refined 39.7mm case and the absence of crown guards, allowing it to wear beautifully on a wide range of wrist sizes. The polished stainless steel case and classic straight lugs evoke a timeless look, embodying Omega’s commitment to its space heritage with exceptional traditional styling.

A rich, dark blue dial brings unique character to the watch, offering a sophisticated and less common alternative to the standard black Speedmaster. This deep color subtly shifts in different lighting, creating visual interest and lending the piece a slightly dressier feel. The dial layout preserves the classic chronograph functionality with running seconds, a 30-minute counter, and a 12-hour counter. The use of applied indices and a subtle aluminum bezel ensures the watch retains the high legibility essential to its pilot-watch roots.

Crucially, this contemporary model features Omega’s updated Calibre 3861 manual-winding movement. This mechanism maintains its connection to the legendary Moonwatch calibre while offering modern reliability and accuracy. The Master Chronometer-certified movement boasts superior magnetic resistance and an improved 50-hour power reserve, reflecting Omega’s advancements in precision technology. This hand-winding movement retains the crucial tactile experience that has long endeared the Speedmaster to purists, perfectly bridging Omega’s storied past with cutting-edge watchmaking.

The stainless steel bracelet, with its polished and brushed finishing, enhances the versatility and everyday wearability of the watch. The combination of the compact 39.7mm case and the classic bracelet allows the "First Omega in Space" to sit snugly on the wrist, offering a comfortable, vintage-inspired proportion. Altogether, this timepiece is a thoughtful and technically advanced celebration of Omega's space exploration heritage, making it a highly desirable piece for modern Speedmaster enthusiasts.
