The Omega Speedmaster First Omega in Space (Ref. 310.32.40.50.06.001) is a meticulously crafted timepiece that pays homage to the original Speedmaster CK2998 worn by astronaut Wally Schirra during the 1962 Mercury-Atlas 8 mission. Encased in a 39.7mm polished and brushed stainless steel case, it features a symmetrical design with straight lugs, echoing the vintage aesthetic of its predecessor. The watch is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal that mimics the appearance of hesalite, offering scratch resistance and anti-reflective treatment on the inner surface. The grey-blue dial, achieved through a CVD coating process, presents a sunray-brushed finish that varies subtly under different lighting conditions. It is adorned with applied vintage Omega logos, luminous "Alpha" hands for hours and minutes, and a white varnished central chronograph seconds hand. The dial layout includes a 30-minute recorder at 3 o'clock, a 12-hour recorder at 6 o'clock, and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock. The black aluminum bezel features the iconic "Dot Over Ninety" tachymeter scale, a nod to the original design. Powering this timepiece is the manually wound Omega Calibre 3861, a Master Chronometer certified movement that offers a 50-hour power reserve, co-axial escapement, silicon balance spring, and resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. The solid caseback is engraved with the Seahorse medallion and inscriptions commemorating the first Omega in space and the date of Schirra's mission. Water-resistant to 50 meters, the watch is complemented by a black grained calf leather strap with a stainless steel pin buckle, ensuring both comfort and style.
