Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Chronograph 39.7mm Stainless Steel Silver Dial Leather Strap CK2998 311.33.40.30.02.001 - PRE-OWNED MINT LIMITED EDITION Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Chronograph 39.7mm Stainless Steel…

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch reference 311.33.40.30.02.001, known by its celebrated CK2998 designation, is among the most historically resonant limited editions in the modern Speedmaster catalog. The original CK2998 was the first Speedmaster reference introduced in 1957, featuring the now-iconic asymmetric case, the pump pushers, and a clean dial architecture that set the template for every Speedmaster that followed. Omega has periodically revisited this heritage reference to produce faithful tributes, and this iteration represents that tradition at its finest—a stainless steel case measuring 39.7mm that mirrors the proportions of the 1957 original far more closely than the standard 42mm Moonwatch.

The dial of this CK2998 tribute is finished in silver with applied indexes, a departure from the all-black aesthetic of the professional Moonwatch and an immediate visual signal that this piece is something out of the ordinary. The applied hour markers catch light with understated elegance, lending the watch a dress-capable versatility rare among Speedmaster references. The ceramic bezel provides a modern material upgrade—more scratch-resistant and color-stable than aluminum—while respecting the classic tachymeter scale that defines the Speedmaster silhouette.

Pairing this case and dial combination with a leather strap keeps the wrist presence lean and the aesthetic closer to the spirit of a 1950s sports chronograph than a contemporary bracelet-heavy tool watch. The leather strap softens the overall character of the piece, making it equally persuasive at a formal dinner or a weekend gathering, and it underscores the limited-edition nature of the reference as a collector's showcase rather than a purely utilitarian instrument.

As a limited edition, the 311.33.40.30.02.001 was produced in finite quantities, and finding one in pre-owned mint condition is an increasingly rare proposition. Mint pre-owned examples preserve all the crispness of the case edges, dial print, and bezel text that heavy wear gradually softens, meaning a buyer acquires not only the historical significance of the CK2998 heritage but also a watch that presents as close to new as the secondary market allows. This caliber of preservation is exactly what serious Speedmaster collectors seek when adding a statement reference to their rotation.
