Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Canopus Gold 310.60.42.50.02.001 18k WG

The Omega Speedmaster stands as one of the most iconic chronographs in watchmaking history. Introduced in 1957 as a tool for motorsport timing, it quickly distinguished itself with its bezel-mounted tachymeter for improved readability. Its legacy expanded far beyond racing when it was selected by NASA and became the first watch worn on the moon during the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. The model’s reliability was further proven during the Apollo 13 mission, cementing its nickname, the “Moonwatch,” and its place in both horological and space history. A modern expression of this heritage is the Speedmaster Canopus Gold model 310.60.42.50.02.001. This reference pairs the classic Speedmaster design with Omega’s proprietary 18k Canopus Gold, a white gold alloy enriched with platinum, rhodium, and palladium for exceptional brightness and durability. Powered by the hand-wound Calibre 3861, it retains traditional elements such as the asymmetrical case, stepped dial, and “dot over ninety” tachymeter bezel. At the same time, it elevates the watch into the realm of high luxury, blending historical authenticity with contemporary finishing. The result is a refined interpretation of a tool watch legend, appealing to collectors who value both heritage and craftsmanship.
