The Omega Speedmaster 311.30.42.30.01.005 is the last generation of the Hesalite Moonwatch powered by caliber 1861, before the move to caliber 3861. Its charm is in the familiar details: the softly domed acrylic crystal, flat black dial, and hand-wound chronograph movement that keeps this version close to decades of Speedmaster ownership.

Introduced in 2014, this reference pairs the traditional Moonwatch head with a bracelet using screws rather than the earlier pin-and-sleeve construction. Choose it over the successor if you prefer the flatter dial and older movement architecture; the newer watch brings a stepped dial, hacking seconds, and Master Chronometer certification. On this particular version, pay attention to the Hesalite: light scratches can often be polished away, but deeper damage deserves closer scrutiny. An Omega-signed crystal carries a tiny logo at its center—a small detail worth knowing when assessing a replacement.

What owners love

The Hesalite crystal gives the dial a warmth and gentle distortion at the edges that owners often prefer to the sapphire version. Light scratches can usually be polished out rather than becoming permanent annoyances.
The 42mm case wears more comfortably than the number suggests, thanks to the curved lugs and the way the case sits against the wrist. It also works unusually well on a simple 20mm leather or fabric strap.
The dial is easy to read despite having three subdials, and the white hands stand out clearly against the matte black. Owners also enjoy the daily winding ritual of the manual-wind 1861, rather than treating it purely as a chore.

Common Criticisms

The crown is fairly small and tucked between the crown guards, so getting a good grip for daily winding can be fiddly. This is particularly noticeable if you have larger fingers.
The supplied bracelet has no tool-free clasp adjustment, and its limited adjustment range can make finding the right fit frustrating. Owners whose wrists swell during the day often wish for a more adjustable clasp.
Hesalite picks up scuffs readily, even though minor ones are easy to polish away. The 1861 also doesn't hack, so pulling out the crown won't stop the seconds hand when you want to set it precisely.
