Here we have one of the coolest Speedmaster releases in recent years, the Omega Speedmaster First Omega In Space 311.32.40.30.01.001.

The Moonwatch "First Omega in Space" was inspired by the watch worn by astronaut Wally Shirra in 1962 as he orbited the earth during the "Sigma 7" mission.

This numbered edition model features a bold varnished black dial with a small seconds dial, a 30-minute recorder and 12-hour recorder, along with a central chronograph hand and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The black bezel, with its tachymetric scale, is mounted on a 39.7 mm stainless steel case with symmetric lugs, and the watch is presented on a brown leather strap.

At the heart of this chronograph is OMEGA's calibre 1861, the famous manual-winding movement that was worn on the moon, which is covered by a caseback embossed with the original 1962 Seahorse

Purchased locally in 2017, it presents in excellent condition with only a few signs of regular wear. The underside of the lugs shows some scratches from strap changes.

Comes with inner box, instruction manual, pictogram card, International warranty card, card holder and hang tag.
