OMEGA went to greater length than needed, they consulted the original technical files from Lemania and also x-rayed one original watch, specifically the last watch ever worn on the moon, by astronaut Gene Cernan, during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. 321, a re-creation of the original Speedmaster movement that saw its origins in the high-grade Cal. They did the latter, as we now have the Cal. 1861, the last non-Master Chronometer certified movement in OMEGA’s stable, or do both.

It was widely expected that OMEGA one day would either launch a classical columnwheel chronograph movement for its Speedmaster collection, upgrade the Cal. What looked a bit weird is actually a collector’s delight which feels right to so many senses … the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum. 321 column wheel chronograph movement housed in a platinum Speedmaster case. In 2019 however the manufacture did something which few expected (in this consequential way), they presented a re-creation of the legendary Cal. With the Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum, OMEGA reinvented its watchmaking core philosophy, subtly, surprisingly, and full of delights for the aficionadoĪ new Speedmaster is as exciting as the newest VW Golf car – normally.
