From The Curator
While the market obsesses over vintage Speedmasters, the truly savvy collector knows to look elsewhere to find the legendary Caliber 321. It is famously the choice of true purists and even the world’s greatest watchmakers, like Roger Smith. This piece, with its fabulous condition, is a perfect example of that legacy. And this reference was worn by Daniel Craig in SPECTRE, to boot!
Backing up, this incredible chronograph features the exact same iconic, manual winding movement that powered the early Moonwatch models, packaged here in a pure, unapologetic mid-century dress format. Housed in a warm 18k gold case with classic pump pushers, the design is an absolute masterclass in elegant restraint. The silver sunburst dial features sharp applied gold markers, three beautifully sunken registers for the chronograph functions, and a crisp outer tachymeter scale.
Sized elegantly around 35mm, this piece proves that one of the greatest mechanical movements ever built is just as breathtaking in the boardroom as it is in outer space.
And of course, it comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and appraisal and is shipped carefully and fully insured.
