Catalogue Essay
- Illustrated in the comic "The Adventures of Tintin, Destination Moon” and “Explorers on the Moon” by Hergé, the young reporter Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock suited up in their orange space suits embarked together on an adventure to the moon, riding the iconic red and white checked rocket for their space travel.
- An instantaneous recognizable graphic for Tintin fans, the Omega Speedmaster ref. 311.30.42.30.01.004 was first introduced in 2013. Featuring an exotic “racing” dial with red and white accents, the true inspiration behind the creation of this non-limited edition Speedmaster remained a myth.
- One of the most sought-after and controversial Speedmaster models at its launch, it was clear that Omega marketed the model as a Speedmaster Racing. Enthusiasts soon probed that the watch maybe Omega’s discreet hint of the collaboration between the firm and the famed Cartoon “The Adventures of Tintin”. Declining the speculation from the community once again due to copyright issues, it was clear that the red and white “racing” dial was the exact reflection of Tintin’s rocket.
- For all Speedy collectors, fans of Tintin and space travel, this very well-preserved example offered by the original owner from 2018 is definitely one not to miss.

Omega
Swiss | 1848Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
