Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Apollo XVII 40th Anniversary 311.30.42.30.99.002 2016 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Apollo XVII 40th Anniversary reference 311.30.42.30.99.002 is a deeply commemorative and highly sought-after timepiece, celebrating the final chapter of NASA’s manned lunar missions. Released in 2012, exactly forty years after Apollo 17 touched the lunar surface, this special model was produced in a limited run of 1,972 pieces, directly paying homage to the mission's historic year.

What immediately sets this Speedmaster apart is its striking silver 925 dial. This unique, artistic surface features a medallion-style engraving that intricately depicts the Apollo XVII mission patch, complete with the Greek god Apollo, an eagle with a US flag design, and the celestial bodies like the Moon, Saturn and a spiral galaxy. This complex design transforms the traditional Speedmaster into a wearable piece of art and history, while the classic triple-register chronograph layout, black minute track, and luminous hands remain clearly legible, all protected by a historically accurate Hesalite crystal.

Powering the watch is the reliable Omega Calibre 1861, the same legendary manual-winding chronograph movement that was qualified by NASA for all manned space missions. Rugged, robust, and historically proven, the movement keeps alive the authentic spirit of the Moonwatch. The solid caseback is engraved with commemorative text, the individual limited edition number, and the Apollo XVII mission dates, making each watch a tangible link to space exploration.

Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case and presented on a matching steel bracelet, the Apollo XVII 40th Anniversary Speedmaster represents a beautiful intersection of artistry, heritage, and technical integrity. As a collector’s piece, its rarity, unique dial, and deep historical significance make it more than just a chronograph—it's a poignant celebration of human achievement and the last time humanity set foot on the Moon.
