Omega Speedmaster Professional RAID 311.30.42.30.01.007

Prefer your Speedmasters to be rare? You’ve come to the right place. The Omega Speedmaster Professional RAID was introduced in 2018 as a limited edition of just 250 pieces for the French elite police unit RAID. It was created with the help of Parisian authorized dealer Antoine de Macedo.

The Omega Speedmaster Professional RAID features a distinct set of sub dial hands in the colors of the French flag, plus a tricolor seconds hand for the chronograph. It also has a unique case back – though I don’t have a picture of that for now. It was delivered in the ‘Big Box’ though with a customized medaillon.

Happy 21st of July!

It’s been exactly 47 years since men first set foot on the moon. That means it’s also exactly 47 years ago that the Omega Speedmaster skyrocketed itself to wristwatch stardom, reaching heights that very few other watches would ever match. Though originally designed for gentleman racers, the Speedmaster would forever be linked to space exploration – as we’ve demonstrated with quite a few post on our blog.

To celebrate the 47th anniversary of the succesful moon landing, I’ve compiled a small gallery of space related Speedmaster pictures below. Do you spot -or even recognize- them all?
