More than 60 years have passed since Schirra carried out his historic space mission; in 2024, Omega launched the Speedmaster “First Omega in Space” (Ref. 310.30.40.50.06.001). Buy top Omega Speedmaster clone watches online, buy replica watches at twatchclone.

The modern Speedmaster CK2998 stays remarkably true to the historical original while incorporating advanced materials and technologies. Crafted from stainless steel, the watch retains the 39.7 mm case diameter and 13.4 mm thickness of the vintage model and offers water resistance to 50 meters. The front of the watch and the crown are polished, while the sides of the case feature a brushed finish.

The modern Speedmaster CK2998 features a domed sapphire crystal that faithfully reproduces the profile of the original model’s convex crystal, accentuating its vintage aesthetic. When the historic Speedmaster CK2998 was first introduced, material options were far more limited, leading to the widespread use of acrylic glass for crystals. Today, OMEGA has upgraded the crystal to sapphire—a material prized for its exceptional hardness and scratch resistance, offering superior protection. Furthermore, the domed shape effectively gathers light and magnifies details; this enhances the visual depth and texture of the flat dial, giving it a more three-dimensional appearance.

The tachymeter bezel is crafted from upgraded anodized aluminum, and the placement of the small dot above the “90” marker has been perfectly replicated (this dot sits above the numeral, distinguishing it from the dots positioned beside other markers). The dial features a sunray finish and displays a rare grey-blue hue. Details such as the beige hour markers, Alpha-style sword hands, luminous coating, and the Omega logo beneath the 12 o’clock position have all been faithfully reproduced 1:1 from the historical model. However, there are updates as well; for instance, the design of the small seconds hand (at 9 o’clock) differs from that of the chronograph hands (at 3 and 6 o’clock), thereby visually distinguishing the functions of the sub-dials.

The modern Speedmaster CK2998 features a solid caseback engraved with the inscription “THE FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE,” highlighting its unique status as the first Omega watch worn in space. Below this, the date “OCTOBER 3, 1962” is inscribed, commemorating the day the Speedmaster first ventured into space.

Inside, the Omega Speedmaster “First Omega in Space” (Ref. 310.30.40.50.06.001) is powered by the manual-winding Calibre 3861. This movement is a certified Master Chronometer, capable of withstanding magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss, offering a precision of 0 to +5 seconds per day, and providing a 50-hour power reserve. The Calibre 3861 incorporates Omega’s revolutionary Co-Axial escapement—which minimizes friction through reduced component contact for superior reliability and stability—and a silicon balance spring, placing it at the forefront of the industry in terms of precision, magnetic resistance, and overall performance.
