    OMEGA Speedmaster - (Ref. 18040096/AS04551) Product Details

    3… 2… 1… Liftoff!

    Take a poll amongst wristwatch collectors, and we'd bet the consensus would be that there might be nothing more important or iconic in a watch collection than an Omega Speedmaster.

    Sure, chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona or the Heuer Carrera are classics - icons even, but neither can match the stature of the Speedy with regards to importance in history. In fact, arguably no watch can.

    This particular example, a Reference 2998-4, dates to circa 1961 and features a gorgeous, evenly patinated matte black dial with an early alpha handset, Omega's Calibre 321 hand-cranking movement - widely considered to be one of the most significant movements ever made and is nothing short of legendary - and a correct matching flat-link bracelet with a blade clasp.

    Everyone should own a Speedmaster at one point in their collecting endeavors. It's not only one of the most significant chronographs of all time, it is one of the most significant watches of all time.

    This special example just happens to be a collector-grade time capsule, complete with an Extract from Omega.
