Omega Speedmaster Super Racing 329.30.44.51.01.003 Stainless Steel

Famed as perhaps one of watchmaking's most universally well-known watches, the Omega Speedmaster became the first timepiece ever to be worn on the moon following Omega's successful bid for the Speedmaster to become NASA's choice timepiece for their standard astronaut kit. After its successful inclusion in the 1965 Gemini program, the Speedmaster also adorned the wrists of the astronauts during the Apollo moon landing missions, and so, in 1969, following Buzz Aldrin's historic steps on the moon (Neil Armstrong left his watch on the lunar module) it became the Moonwatch that we all know and love. However, there is more than being that Moonwatch to the Speedmaster. First released as a racing watch, the Speedmaster has had various references launched since its initial debut in 1957 that sought to appease the needs of race cars drives and so forth, like the Speedmaster Super Racing ref. 329.30.44.51.01.03 that we have here. Boasting the Speedmaster’s signature design and construction, it features a black dial with a bi-compax subdial layout that differs from the trio of subdials that are normally seen on the Speedmaster and a subtle hexagonal texture. Made of stainless steel and powered by the automatic cal. 9920 movement, this timepiece forgoes the Speedy’s space-bound heritage and instead appeals to the collection’s even older roots as a watch created for racers.

THE CONSTRUCTION Larger than typical, the Super Racing features a 44.25mm diameter stainless steel case that dwarfs the 42mm case that the Moonwatch is known for, giving it a bulky poise on the wrist.
