# Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary LE-6969 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition (ref. 310.32.42.50.01.001) is an iconic sports chronograph celebrating the 1969 moon landing, featuring a 42mm stainless steel case, vintage-inspired stepped black dial with rhodium-plated hands and Super-LumiNova, powered by the manual-wind Calibre 3861 METAS-certified movement offering 50 hours of power reserve, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts seeking historical Moonwatch legacy with modern precision.
## Overall Watch Rating: 8.9/10.0
**Movement Metric (9.9/10.0)** - The Calibre 3861 sets a benchmark for manual chronographs with column-wheel actuation, Geneva stripes, and -0/+5 seconds/day METAS accuracy, rivaling Patek Philippe's elite references.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Immortalized as the first watch on the moon, this LE elevates Omega's heritage with the debut of the METAS-tested Moonwatch movement, surpassing most vintage reissues in cultural impact.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.6/10.0)** - The stepped black dial faithfully recreates the 1969 Apollo 11 aesthetic with exquisite detailing and legibility, outshining contemporary homages like Zenith's Chronomaster.
**Material Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Premium stainless steel construction with brushed/polished finishes and domed AR-coated sapphire rivals Rolex Oystersteel cases in durability and refinement.
**Brand Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Omega upholds luxury status through decades of Speedmaster excellence, comparable to Rolex in global recognition and craftsmanship consistency.
**Versatility Metric (8.7/10.0)** - This Moonwatch transitions seamlessly from formal events to adventure, much like the standard Speedmaster Professional but with added collector appeal.
**Complications Metric (8.4/10.0)** - The tri-compax chronograph layout delivers precise timing functionality on par with Heuer Carrera classics.
**Functions Metric (8.1/10.0)** - Core timekeeping plus chronograph and tachymeter provide robust utility, matching mid-tier sports chronos from Breitling.
**Rarity Metric (7.6/10.0)** - Limited to 6,969 pieces, it offers moderate exclusivity akin to other Omega LEs but softened by strong secondary availability.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.4
## WM Collector Grade: B
## Performance Insights: Shines in movement quality, history, and design while rarity lags due to production volume; delivers strong value slightly above implied price for a modern Moonwatch LE.
## TPS Interpretation: Average Value: The watch matches expected performance for its price with standout heritage offsetting standard rarity.
