DRAFT · PENDING REVIEW
Omega · Family: Speedmaster
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch (ref. 310.30.42.50.01.001) is the current-production, Hesalite-crystal version of Omega's manual-wind chronograph, powered since 2021 by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861. Cazador has insufficient verified price data to publish a reliable market range. Its differential: this exact reference keeps the historic acrylic Hesalite crystal, while the visually similar 310.30.42.50.01.002 swaps in sapphire.
Insufficient data
3 of 5 price observations needed to show a reliable range
Insufficient data: 3 observations recorded as of today. No price range is estimated until at least 5 verified observations exist.
The reference 310.30.42.50.01.001 is the current, Hesalite-crystal execution of Omega's Speedmaster Professional — the watch popularly known as the 'Moonwatch.' The reference is presently in production, cased in 42mm stainless steel, and powered by the Calibre 3861, a manual-winding, Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement certified by METAS for magnetic-field resistance and other precision criteria beyond standard COSC. Omega updated this reference to the 3861 movement in 2021.
What sets .001 apart within the current catalog is the crystal. Omega offers this exact case and dial configuration under two distinct reference numbers depending on crystal material. This one retains the historic Hesalite (acrylic) crystal, while its sibling, 310.30.42.50.01.002, swaps in sapphire for greater scratch resistance. Collectors weigh the two differently: Hesalite can be polished out after minor scuffs, but marks more easily in daily wear, whereas sapphire resists scratching but is more prone to shattering on hard impact.
The Speedmaster Professional family carries a long-documented association with NASA's crewed space program, which is a major part of its cultural cachet and the origin of the 'Moonwatch' nickname [UNVERIFIED: specific mission dates, astronaut names, or individual flight details not provided in source data].
On specification, the movement offers roughly 50 hours of power reserve on a full manual wind, the case is water resistant to 50 m, and the black aluminum bezel carries the tachymeter scale standard to the line. As of this fiche's last update, Cazador has zero recorded PricePoint observations for this reference.
Both share the same 42mm case, Calibre 3861 movement, and black dial layout. The only documented difference is the crystal: .001 uses Hesalite, .002 uses sapphire.
No. This specific reference, .001, is fitted with Hesalite (acrylic) crystal. For the sapphire-crystal version of the same case, look for reference 310.30.42.50.01.002.
It runs Omega's Calibre 3861, a manual-winding, Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement with roughly 50 hours of power reserve, updated in 2021 with METAS certification.
Cazador currently has no verified price observations for this exact reference, so we cannot publish a reliable range. Check back as market observations are collected and verified.
It is manual-wind, not automatic. The Calibre 3861 chronograph movement must be hand-wound and offers approximately 50 hours of power reserve on a full wind.
It means the movement passes Omega's Co-Axial escapement standard plus METAS testing for magnetic-field resistance and precision, beyond standard COSC chronometer certification.
The Speedmaster Professional family is widely documented as having been used in NASA's crewed space program, which is the source of the nickname. Specific mission details aren't confirmed in this fiche.
