Omega Speedmaster Watches
Pre-owned Omega Speedmaster watches: the legend on your wrist
The Omega Speedmaster watch has embodied Swiss watchmaking excellence since 1957. The first watch worn on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission, the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch conquered space before captivating collectors worldwide. At Castafiore, our selection includes the most iconic models: Moonwatch, Speedmaster Reduced, and Day-Date Chronograph in steel. Choosing a pre-owned Omega watch means accessing horological excellence at a much more affordable price than buying new, while acquiring an authentic and expertly inspected timepiece. Our specialists verify the condition of each watch, the authenticity of the movement, and provide you with detailed information on each product.
Space legacy: the first watch on the Moon
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch holds a unique place in watchmaking history. In 1965, NASA selected the Speedmaster as the official watch for its astronauts after rigorous testing. On July 21, 1969, Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface wearing his Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, making this Omega the first watch worn on the Moon. This space adventure bestowed upon the Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional unparalleled prestige. The Omega watches we offer carry this history on your wrist, whether it's a Moonwatch or a more accessible Speedmaster Reduced. The manual-winding movement, faithful to the original space-age caliber, testifies to the authenticity sought by collectors.
The Omega Speedmaster models: Moonwatch, Reduced, Day-Date
The Speedmaster family comes in several models, each offering distinct features to suit different wrists and budgets.
Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch: the absolute icon
The Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, with its manual-winding movement and 42mm steel case, remains the absolute benchmark. Its black dial, three subdials, and Hesalite crystal make it an instantly recognizable icon. The price of an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is determined after expert appraisal, taking into account the watch's condition, the authenticity of the original steel bracelet, the presence of the paperwork, and the year of production.
Speedmaster Reduced: compact and accessible
The Speedmaster Reduced, with its 39mm case and automatic movement, offers a more compact alternative. The price of a Speedmaster Reduced is determined by several expert criteria: the condition of the case, the functionality of the automatic movement, the quality of the bracelet, and the year of manufacture. This Omega watch is appealing thanks to its automatic winding, while retaining the aesthetic DNA of the family.
Speedmaster Day-Date Chronograph: additional complications
The Speedmaster Day-Date Chronograph adds practical complications (day and date) for feature enthusiasts. The price of these Omega watches is determined after evaluation of their overall condition, movement, and the rarity of the model. Our catalog covers various eras, from vintage references to recent models equipped with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer.
Choosing your pre-owned Omega Speedmaster watch
Choosing a Speedmaster requires careful consideration of several key criteria. At Castafiore, we guide you towards an informed purchase.
Authenticity and condition
The authenticity of an Omega Speedmaster watch is verified by the serial number engraved between the lugs, the caliber reference visible through the case back, and the quality of the case's finish. At Castafiore, our watch experts rigorously examine each watch: the condition of the steel case, the chronograph's functionality, the movement's accuracy, and the authenticity of the bracelet. The caliber is the heart of the timepiece: the Moonwatch uses the manual 1861, the Reduced features the automatic 3220, while recent models incorporate the Co-Axial Master Chronometer.
Price and valuation
The price of a pre-owned Omega Speedmaster is determined after a thorough appraisal. Several criteria influence the valuation: the overall condition of the case and dial, the functionality of the movement and chronograph, the authenticity and condition of the steel bracelet, the presence of original papers, the year of production, and the rarity of the model. The original steel bracelet, recognizable by its finely crafted links and signed clasp, adds significant value. The detailed information we provide (reference number, year, condition, service history) ensures complete transparency.
