The Omega Speedmaster “First Omega in Space” 311.32.40.30.01.001, often referred to by collectors as the FOIS, is one of the most celebrated modern reinterpretations of the historic pre-Moon Speedmaster design. Released as a numbered anniversary edition, this model pays tribute to astronaut Wally Schirra’s personal Speedmaster CK2998, which became the first Omega worn in space during the Sigma 7 Mercury mission in 1962. Unlike the standard Moonwatch Professional, the FOIS features the earlier symmetrical straight-lug case design without crown guards, giving the watch a distinctly vintage-inspired profile and more compact wrist presence. The 39.7 mm stainless steel case is paired with a black tachymeter bezel and a matte black dial fitted with elegant Alpha hands and classic recessed chronograph sub-dials, closely echoing the aesthetics of the original CK2998 reference. Powered by the legendary hand-wound Omega Calibre 1861, the FOIS preserves the traditional mechanical spirit of the Speedmaster lineage while offering modern reliability and robust chronograph performance. The sapphire crystal, closed commemorative caseback, and rich brown leather strap complete the watch’s vintage-inspired presentation.
Collectors and enthusiasts widely regard the FOIS as one of the finest modern Speedmaster references due to its wearable proportions, historical significance, and faithful tribute to the earliest space-bound Omega chronographs.
