Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch "Ed White" 311.30.40.30.01.001 2022 B&P

Overview
The Omega Speedmaster “Ed White” Calibre 321 reference 311.30.40.30.01.001 revives one of the most important chronographs in history, faithfully recreating the movement worn by astronaut Ed White during America’s first spacewalk in 1965. At 39.7mm, its stainless steel case captures the proportions of the original, while a black ceramic bezel with enamel tachymeter and a step dial with vintage-style indexes reinforce its heritage. Hand-assembled by a single watchmaker, the sapphire caseback reveals the historic Calibre 321 movement in exceptional detail.

Collector Insight
The Calibre 321 is revered among collectors as the original Speedmaster movement, famously powering the watches worn on NASA’s early space missions. In 2019, Omega painstakingly recreated it using tomography scans of Gene Cernan’s Apollo-era watch. Each 321 movement is built by hand, with production capped at roughly 1,000 pieces annually, making this reference one of the most exclusive modern Speedmasters. For enthusiasts, the “Ed White” is both a link to the Speedmaster’s legendary past and a pinnacle of Omega’s contemporary craftsmanship.
