SOLD: 2018 Omega Speedmaster FOIS 311.32.40.30.01.001 - Full Kit

[Kurteti]

Hey folks

Today I’m offering up one of my favourite versions of the Speedmaster. The “First Omega In Space” (FOIS) caught my attention when I first started collecting watches, owing to its slightly smaller 40mm sizing compared to the 42mm professional.

The FOIS which was fashioned after Wally Schirras personal watch he wore on the Sigma 7 mission, the beloved CK2998, predates the Moonwatch by nearly half a decade and to me, strikes the perfect balance between the moonwatch, the rather hard to obtain CK2998 and the “Ed White”

Perfect for the smaller wristed who feel they cannot pull off the 42mm professional model, this one is everything speedy related without having to resort to a Speedy reduced.

The applied omega logo, angular lugs, sapphire crystal, Alpha handset and overall ease of wearability make this a watch that is easily dressed up or down, while simultaneously carrying a certain timeless vintage vibe.

These pieces have since been discontinued and don’t come up too often, housing the Cal.1861 movement it runs strong at +1s a day

The watch comes as a full kit and shows minor signs of wear around the polished parts of the case. There are no signs of wear on the OEM strap and as a bonus, included is the Forstner Flatlink bracelet which elevates the vintage look of the watch even further.

Asking a fair and reasonable $6675 plus shipping for this beauty or f2f in the GTA
