About the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional 42mm
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional is one of the most storied chronographs in watchmaking history, famously qualified by NASA for all crewed space missions and worn during the Apollo 11 Moon landing in 1969. The 42mm stainless steel case has become the canonical size for the Moonwatch, housing the hand-wound chronograph movement and presenting the distinctive black dial with tachymeter bezel that has defined the model for decades. Within this generation of references, buyers will find subtle but meaningful differences in case finishing, crystal type, and strap or bracelet configurations that distinguish individual references from one another. The Moonwatch Professional at 42mm remains one of the most sought-after luxury sport watches for both collectors and first-time buyers worldwide.
What to Look For
When comparing references in this 42mm collection, pay attention to the strap or bracelet pairing, as some references such as 310.32.42.50.01.001 come on nylon fabric straps and others like 310.32.42.50.01.002 on leather, which can influence both wearability and resale value. Condition is another key value driver, with brand new sealed examples commanding a premium over pre-owned pieces, though pre-owned Moonwatches in excellent condition remain highly desirable given the model's consistent demand.
