The history of this Omega Speedmaster
The House of Omega has a unique heritage in space exploration. The mechanical chronograph chosen to accompany astronauts has forged its legend on absolute legibility. To sublimate this formal myth, the Manufacture is unveiling the reference 310.30.42.50.01.004, which introduces a new aesthetic dynamic. Known colloquially to collectors as inversée, this variation adopts a 2-level architecture with a sumptuous finish. To obtain this deep black background reminiscent of traditional enamel, the brand painstakingly applied more than 20 layers of lacquer. This complex work provides a spectacular backdrop for the 3 immaculate white counters. This technical evolution definitively anchors the instrument in contemporary haute horlogerie while preserving its original DNA.
Case, calibre and strap of this Speedmaster
The asymmetrical stainless steel case measures 42 mm in diameter and features superb lyre lugs blending brushed and polished surfaces. The fixed bezel abandons aluminium for a scratch-resistant black ceramic insert and is enhanced by a white enamel tachometric scale. The stepped dial is protected by a curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal. A transparent back reveals the calibre 3861 hand-wound movement. This state-of-the-art Master Chronometer-certified chronograph oscillates at 3 Hz and has a 50-hour power reserve. Equipped with 26 jewels and a patented escapement, it is resistant to extreme magnetic fields. It is water-resistant to 50 metres. The steel bracelet tapers elegantly from 20 mm at the lugs to 15 mm at the folding clasp. This clasp conceals a clever comfort adjustment system.
