About This Watch

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Apollo 11 40th Anniversary | Manual Wind | Ref. 311.30.42.30.01.002 The 40th Anniversary edition of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch (Ref. 311.30.42.30.01.002) was introduced in 2009 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing — the historic mission that first landed humans on the lunar surface in 1969. This limited edition piece was produced in a run of 7,969 pieces worldwide, making it a sought-after variation of the classic Moonwatch. Built on the iconic Speedmaster Professional platform — the same lineage as the watch worn on the Moon — this edition features the timeless 42 mm stainless steel case and classic black dial with contrasting chronograph sub-dials. The dial includes a special Apollo 11 emblem on the 9 o’clock sub-dial, adding a distinct commemorative touch while preserving the recognizable Speedmaster aesthetic. Under the hood, the watch runs on Omega’s manual-winding chronograph movement Caliber 1861, a continuation of the movement family that powered Moonwatch references for decades. The hesalite crystal and tachymeter bezel reinforce the Moonwatch’s functional roots and ties to its lunar heritage. The caseback typically carries special engravings marking the anniversary, providing tangible provenance for this limited edition. With water resistance suitable for daily wear and robust construction, the Apollo 11 40th Anniversary Speedmaster is both a functional chronograph and a meaningful tribute to one of humanity’s greatest engineering achievements.
