Review The Omega Speedmaster Apollo XI 50th Anniversary Limited Watch Replica

The Omega Speedmaster replica series is one of the most classic and popular series in the brand. Since its introduction, the Speedmaster series has developed rapidly on the road of watchmaking and has occupied an important position in the history of space exploration. In 1969, mankind landed on the moon for the first time, wearing the Speedmaster watch. Today, the Speedmaster watch has become a classic in people's minds. Next, we will take the Omega Speedmaster Apollo XI 50th Anniversary Limited watch replica 310.60.42.50.99.001 as an example to enjoy it together.

The Case

Omega Speedmaster Series "Apollo 11" 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Watch replica is based on the Speedmaster BA145.022 specially designed by OMEGA to celebrate the successful moon landing in 1969. It draws inspiration and presents history in the details of the watch. The charm of the watch, and the use of Omega's innovative 18K alloy as the material, to create a unique color, full of retro charm of the wrist timepiece.

For this brand new limited edition, Omega didn't break the mold, but they certainly changed what went into it. Still 42mm wide and keeping steadfast to the overall theme of the BA145.022, the Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition replica (reference 310.60.42.50.99.001) trades 18K yellow gold for a new Omega-exclusive 18k gold alloy that the brand is calling "Moonshine Gold." Forming the case, bracelet, and various other elements of the watch, this new alloy uses additional palladium to fight the discoloration that can occur in ordinary 18k yellow gold, and while more pale in color, it promises to retain more of its general character over time. Likewise, while the burgundy bezel is a direct nod to the bezel inset from the original, it is now rendered in ceramic with a scale printed in Omega's Ceragold. Notice not only the deep color, but also the vintage-Speedy nod of including a scale that extends to 500 units and dot over the 90 measure (a hallmark of pre-'70s Speedmaster bez el design).

The Dial

On the 2019 Omega Speedmaster replica, the chronograph and seconds registers are decorated with turned concentric circular grooves. These contrast nicely with the vertical brushwork on the dial, a design which carries through to the bracelet and facets of the lugs. Omega carefully redesigned the numerical typeface on the chronograph and seconds sub-dials in order to enhance legibility. Hours are indicated by faceted black onyx applied markers. The black onyx colorway is carried through the large chronograph seconds hand, the hour and minute hands (black on gold), the subdial hands, and printing on the dial. The hour and minute indicators are pencil shaped while the large chronograph seconds hand is a unique triangular shape without the spade embellishment often found on Speedmasters.

The ceramic bezel is burgundy in color and alludes to the red in NASA’s logotype. The tachymeter scale on the bezel is matched in color to the gold dial and case (interestingly, the bezel tachymeter scale on the 1969 release introduced a fourth color: silver). This tachymeter scale also includes the “dot over 90” which is so loved by Speedmaster collectors.

The Movement

Flip the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary replica over to see another very cool aspect, a Moonshine gold-plated, manually wound expression of the 1861, dubbed the 3861. A METAS certified Master Chronometer movement with a Co-Axial escapement and Si14 balance spring, the 3861 can be seen via an open case back. With various elements in glowing gold, the 3861 is surrounded by some commemorative text and two interesting elements. The first is a small cutaway of Earth in gold and blue that shows the Americas . The second, seen across the caseback and rendered in correct proportion to that of the image of Earth, is a Moon created using an inlay of domed lunar meteorite (shown directly below).
