Biography

The Omega Speedmaster Alaska Project, released in 2008 as a limited edition of 1,970 pieces, faithfully recreates many features of the original prototype. This particular example, bearing the reference number 311.32.42.30.04.001, was purchased new on August 26, 2008, from the Omega store in KaDeWe, Berlin.

This beautiful timepiece is in new old stock condition, complete with all accessories and the original purchase invoice. It has never been in an auction and is consigned by the original owner, making it an exceptionally rare find. The watch features the distinctive white dial, removable red anodized aluminium outer case, and the caliber 1861 movement.

Its pristine condition, complete provenance, and the specific details of its purchase from a prestigious location significantly enhance its value and appeal to collectors.
