The Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Limited Edition (Ref. 311.33.40.30.02.001) pays tribute to the original CK2998 of 1959, offering vintage-inspired design with modern materials and execution. Released in 2016 as a numbered limited edition of 2998 pieces worldwide, this version retains the compact dimensions and distinctive styling of the early Speedmasters. The watch features a 39.7 mm stainless steel case echoing the size of the original Pre-Moon Speedmaster. The dial is executed in a silver/opaline tone with prominent, blue-accented sub-dials and a blue chapter ring—an aesthetic blend of modern and retro. Alpha-style hands and a lollipop-shaped chronograph seconds hand further evoke the vintage 1959 reference. Under the dial beats the manual-winding Caliber 1861, the longtime workhorse of the Moonwatch line, offering reliable chronograph functionality with a heritage connection to first Omega Speedmaster models.
