Description:
A tribute to the original Speedmaster worn in space by astronaut Wally Schirra in 1962, this reference 311.32.40.30.01.001—known as the First Omega in Space—is a historically significant and beautifully proportioned model that offers vintage aesthetics with modern dependability.
The 39.7mm case size is faithful to the early Speedmaster CK2998, making it more wearable for a wider range of wrists compared to the larger Professional Moonwatch. The dial retains the iconic tri-compax layout, applied logo, and sleek Alpha hands, all hallmarks of early Speedmasters.
Inside beats the legendary manual-wind Calibre 1861, the same movement used in the Moonwatch for decades, known for its robustness and space-proven reliability. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, offering clarity while maintaining the vintage character.
Paired with a warm brown leather strap, this Speedmaster blends mid-century space race heritage with everyday versatility. It’s not just a watch—it’s a slice of horological history on your wrist.
Why This Watch?
Whether you're a Speedmaster devotee, a spaceflight enthusiast, or a fan of understated elegance, the FOIS delivers unmatched storytelling and build quality in a refined case size. Discontinued and becoming increasingly sought-after, this reference is a collector's dream and a highly wearable tribute to one of humankind’s greatest adventures.
