Introducing The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary 18k Gold Limited Edition Watch Replica

Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition men’s watch replica 310.60.42.50.99.001 will be hard to miss it, as this will certainly be one of the most coveted timepieces of the year. And indeed, it is special, much more than what we could have expected. Not only it is a reissue of the 1969 reference BA145.022, but also the new Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition watch replica comes with major mechanical improvements.

Inspire

You've certainly immediately spotted the resemblance between the 50th-anniversary edition and another, vintage model Omega Speedmaster reference BA145.022 replica. This watch, highly desirable and rare, was made to celebrate the Moon landing back in 1969.

This watch was characterized by its full 18k yellow gold case and bracelet, its burgundy ceramic bezel with Dot Over 90, onyx applied hour markers and blackened hands and a specific commemorative caseback. It was powered by the newly introduced calibre 861 and recently became one of the most sought-after models in the Speedmaster collection.

The Case

The case of the Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary men‘s watch replica is, made of solid 18k gold. However, Omega introduces here a new alloy, named Moonshine and explained by Omega as "inspired by the shining moon-light in a dark blue sky. In a paler hue than traditional 18K yellow gold, MoonshineTM gold offers high resistance to the fading of colour and lustre over time." The case is the same as most other Moonwatches, meaning 42mm diamter and 14mm height.

The Dial

The dial is also faithful in terms of looks. It is here made of solid Moonshine gold and brushed like the original. Hour marker are solid gold and features a black onyx insert. The hands feature some black luminous paint (hours and minutes) or are blackened (chronograph hands). The dial is also faithful to the original with an applied gold Ω logo and the old font for the Speedmaster name.

The bezel of the Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary watch replica retains the burgundy colour of the BA145.022, however, as a concession to modernity, is now made of ceramic with Ceragold technique for the tachymeter scale. As the original model, the tachymeter scale is graduated to 500 units per hour, this new model features a marker dot above 90 (also known as "Dot Over 90" or "DON").

New Movement

The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary watch replica introduces a new generation of hand-wound chronograph movement, the calibre Omega 3861. Omega changed approximately 50% of the parts used in caliber 861 movement. Besides that, the movement indeed has a Co-Axial escapement and is certified as 'Master Chronometer'. This means, that it is anti-magnetic up to 15,000 gauss and has a balance with a silicon spring. Where the normal caliber 1861 has an accuracy between -1 and +11 seconds a day (these are the margins for the Moonwatch), the new caliber 3861 maintains the Master Chronometer standard by using a deviation of +-0 to +5 seconds a day on average.

Caseback

The outer caseback ring features mechanically engraved markings "1969-2019" and the Limited Edition number highlighted in burgundy, as well as an uncoloured "Master Chronometer" .
The inner decorative ring, also created in 18k Moonshine gold, has undergone two separate laser ablation processes, as well as two PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) colour treatments in blue and black. This ring features a matte-finish blue ocean that surrounds a partial world map of the American continents (in polished finish).
