Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Alaska Project 1970 Limited Edition 311.32.42.30.04.001

Nicknamed the Alaska Project, Omega created several watches to perform in space, and in 2008, they decided to pay homage to the Alaska II prototype with the Speedmaster Alaska Project as part of a limited edition run with 1970 pieces.

Immediately distinctive in its unique design, the Alaska Project features a modified polar white dial with baton hands for the time and rocket-shaped hands within the sunken chronograph subdials as a reminder of the Alaska Project’s raison d’être. Of course, given the harsh sub-freezing temperatures in space, the Alaska Project features perhaps the most distinguishable design feature on any Omega timepiece, a bright red anodized aluminum “thermal shield” that houses the Speedmaster as we know it within. Protecting the hesalite crystal from damage and inscribed with numerals to improve the chronograph’s legibility, the thermal shield is functional beyond just keeping the movement at a temperature that it can operate at. So good at its job. the thermal shield enables the Alaska Project to operate in lunar or spatial atmospheres, ranging from a mind-numbing -148C to a rather steamy +260C.
