Overview
The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition (ref. 310.20.42.50.01.001) was released in 2019 to mark half a century since the first crewed Moon landing. Its 42 mm case pairs stainless steel with Omega's proprietary Moonshine gold, a warm-toned alloy developed in-house, while the grey dial evokes the lunar surface. At its heart sits the calibre 3861, a modern co-axial master chronometer movement that traces its lineage directly to the hand-wound calibre worn on the Apollo 11 mission.
History
The Speedmaster has been associated with NASA's Apollo programme since the 1960s, when it was qualified as the official watch for astronauts. The 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's July 1969 Moon landing prompted Omega to issue this commemorative limited edition in 2019, revisiting the original case diameter of 42 mm that characterised early Speedmaster references. The reference was produced only in 2019, making it a single-year release sought by collectors who follow both the Speedmaster lineage and the broader history of space exploration.
Notable points

- The 42 mm case diameter echoes the dimensions of early Speedmaster references worn during the Apollo era.
