Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 1861 Hesalite 311.30.42.30.01.005 Discontinued 2019 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 311.30.42.30.01.005 is a legendary timepiece, famously worn on the moon during the Apollo missions. Featuring a 42mm stainless steel case and the manual-wind Caliber 1861, this reference stays true to the original Moonwatch design with its black dial, chronograph function, and hesalite crystal. While this model has been discontinued and replaced by a newer version with the Caliber 3861, it remains a favorite among collectors for its closer connection to the original moon landings.

One of the standout features of this reference was Omega's large collector’s box set. It included not only the stainless steel bracelet but also two additional straps—a textile NATO and a textile Velcro strap—allowing owners to switch between looks inspired by the astronauts' gear. Omega also included tools for strap changes, giving collectors a complete experience. The newer reference with the Caliber 3861 does not come with these additional straps or tools, making the 311.30.42.30.01.005 a more desirable choice for those who appreciate these extras.

The 42mm size, combined with the versatility of the additional straps, allows the Moonwatch to be tailored for various settings, from casual to more formal occasions. Its discontinuation, along with the absence of the collector’s set in newer models, only adds to the appeal and rarity of this reference, making it a highly sought-after piece among Omega enthusiasts and Speedmaster purists.
