Few watches embody both cosmic heritage and horological artistry like the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Apollo-Soyuz 311.30.42.30.99.001. Released in 2010 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the legendary Apollo-Soyuz space rendezvous—the first joint mission between the United States and Soviet Union—it celebrates a moment of diplomacy, exploration, and human achievement. Limited to just 1,975 pieces worldwide, it instantly commands attention among serious collectors for its scarcity and historic significance.

The true marvel lies in its dial: crafted from genuine meteorite, each one carries a unique Widmanstätten pattern formed over millions of years, making no two watches identical. Framed by a 42mm stainless steel case and protected by hesalite crystal, this pre-owned Moonwatch retains the classic Speedmaster Professional silhouette that has become an icon of space exploration. Beneath its extraterrestrial surface beats the legendary manual-winding Omega calibre 1861—the direct descendant of the movement worn on the Moon, ensuring precision and reliability for decades to come.

This pre-owned Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Apollo-Soyuz is offered in good condition with minimal signs of wear. It has been professionally inspected and comes with an authentication certificate, ensuring complete confidence for the discerning buyer.
