Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 311.30.42.30.01.005

Description: In September 12, 1962 President John F. Kennedy gave a historic speech at Rice University where he uttered the phrase: "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..." Time, was ticking... Then, in 1964, NASA set its sights on choosing a timing instrument that would become the standard for space exploration. Omega was one of only four companies that submitted watches for testing. The tests that NASA performed on the chronographs that were submitted to the agency were designed to destroy the watches. In the end, only one watch survived: the Speedmaster. The OMEGA Speedmaster has been the choice of astronauts and space agencies for more than half a century. In fact, it has been associated with some of humankind's greatest extra-terrestrial adventures and has been one of the most famous chronographs in the world ever since it became the first watch worn on the Moon in July of 1969. This event, forever cemented the Omega Speedmaster as an icon of space exploration. Now you can join the ranks of astronauts like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin by owning a piece of history. This model is in pre-owned condition, and is in search of a new home. I've done my best to capture photos of the set's condition and would be happy to provide additional photos or videos upon request. This is the highly sought after "Big Box" Collector's edition and it comes as a set with double box, booklets, Speedmaster medallion, loupe, strap changing tool, unworn/sealed NATO strap, unworn/sealed velcro strap, warranty card, and pictogram. I am a passionate watch collector and travel the country in search of independent restaurants that people should dine at on a weekly basis. I've been on eBay for over 20 years and I trade in and out of watches regularly. I'm happy to provide references, or answer any questions you may have for a smooth transaction. Once we break bread, I will share with you the best restaurant in your town (if I've been to your town of course), or your state. From yours truly, Luis Rivera- Host of America's Best Restaurants
