This Omega CK2998 limited edition is inspired by the original 1959 Speedmaster ref. 2998, the archetype for the Speedmaster as most of us know it. It was the first model to feature the black bezel commonly associated with this watch (previously the bezel was steel) and the little dial details, hand shapes, and case profile all make it a benchmark in the Speedmaster’s history.

It’s the detail Omega have gone into that makes this such a successful tribute watch. Look closely at the tachymeter bezel and you’ll see that it reads “Base 1000” at the top right. This is straight off the 2998-1 bezel, with later bezels starting at 500 instead. It would have been easy to miss this, however Omega we’re very keen to get this model right.

The alpha-shaped hour and minute hands are accompanied by a bold “lollipop” seconds hand, with the large luminous dot at the tip. This is yet another flourish of the original watch that was important to get right (it’s worth noting that the very first 2998-1 had a slim, straight seconds hand, even if that’s not the version most coveted today).

Then there’s the movement inside: a caliber 1861 manually-wound chronograph. The 1861 is the direct descendent of the 861, with nominal differences, and Speedmaster’s power by the 1861 are currently being used on the International Space Station for EVA (extravehicular activity), also known as space walks.

This Omega CK2998 is in wonderful condition and shows almost no major visible signs of wear. The watch overall is rated 9.5/10.

It is a low issue number 02xx/2998, supplied with its original inner and outer box, warranty card as well as pictogram. The original swing tag detailing model and serial number as well the the limited edition certificate are also included.
