Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch "50th Anniversary" SS Black Dial

Released in 2007 for the Speedmaster's 50th anniversary, reference 311.30.42.30.01.001 was produced in a limited run of 5,957 pieces. It draws directly from the 1957 original but stays within the familiar Moonwatch framework. The 42 mm stainless steel case keeps the classic Professional shape, fitted with a stainless steel bracelet and a black dial with period-inspired details and discreet anniversary markings. Inside is Omega's caliber 1861, a hand-wound, cam-switched chronograph movement descended from the Lemania-based design used across generations of Speedmasters. That movement, paired with the solid caseback, gives the watch the straightforward feel many collectors want from a traditional Moonwatch. What makes this reference appealing is its restraint. It wears much like a standard Moonwatch, but the anniversary details give it a clearer identity without pushing it into overt commemorative territory. The black dial stays close to the established Speedmaster formula, with a tachymeter bezel, tri-compax layout, and the clean legibility that defines the model. Because it was issued as a 50th Anniversary limited series rather than a country-specific or boutique edition, it holds a distinct place among modern Speedmaster anniversary releases. For buyers looking for a commemorative Speedmaster with defined production numbers, correct Professional proportions, and a close link to the 1957 design, this is one of the stronger modern examples.
