Omega Speedmaster Tintin at 20: The Legacy of a Limited Edition
Omega Speedmaster Tintin 20th Anniversary!
The Omega Speedmaster 311.30.42.30.01.004 “Tintin” is a limited edition watch that was created in honor of the Belgian comic book character Tintin. The story behind the watch goes back to 2013 when Omega released the Speedmaster “Tintin” as a tribute to the famous comic book character created by Belgian cartoonist Hergé.
The watch features a red and white color scheme that pays homage to the color palette of Tintin’s iconic outfit. The white dial has three subdials, a date window, and a red seconds hand with a white tip, which is reminiscent of Tintin’s quiff hairstyle.
The case back of the watch features an embossed image of Tintin, along with his loyal dog Snowy, in a rocket ship. This references the storyline of the comic book “Destination Moon,” in which Tintin and his friends travel to the moon in a rocket.
The Speedmaster “Tintin” is a highly sought-after collector’s item due to its limited production run of only 3,000 pieces. It is a popular choice among fans of both Tintin and the Omega Speedmaster, a watch that has a rich history of being the first watch worn on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
