Omega Ref. 311.32.40.30.02.001 — Variants and collector names
Known as: CK2998 Pulsometer, Panda Pulsometer Speedy, Anniversary Series Pulsometer, Panda 39.7
Movement variants
- 1861 (2018–2020) · 21600 bph
Crystal variants
- FOIS-Gen1-BoxSaphir-AR-innen-39.7mm
Serial numbers
- 1 – 2998 (2018–2020) — Limited edition: serial number 'X/2998' engraved on the case back. A separate Omega serial number (dial side, typically 89–95 million for 2018–2020) is also present.
The 311.32.40.30.02.001 draws on the format of the CK2998 — the very first Speedmaster ever made, launched in 1959 with a case diameter of 39.7 millimeters and a pulsometer scale on the bezel. Place this reference next to a current Moonwatch and you'll immediately notice what that 2.3-millimeter difference does: the smaller diameter puts the dial front and center, not the case. Collectors call this reference the "Panda Pulsometer" or "Panda 39.7" — white dial against pitch-black subdials, no shades of gray in between. Omega didn't soften that look for the Anniversary Edition.
## What the Pulsometer Scale Was Originally Built to Do
In the late 1950s, the pulsometer scale wasn't a design flourish — it was a medical instrument. It served as a calculation aid in doctors' offices and emergency services: count 15 heartbeats, stop the timer, read the value off the scale — done. The fact that this measuring logic now lives on a bezel competing visually with the Panda dial is no contradiction. It explains why this reference carries such a distinct name within the collector community and is rarely described without that detail.
## Calibre 1861 and No Reason to Modernize
The 311.32.40.30.02.001 is powered by the manually wound Calibre 1861, fitted in the Professional line since 1968 and tested as part of NASA qualification for the Apollo program. 18 jewels, 48 hours of power reserve. Omega switched neither to a Co-Axial escapement nor to a rotor for this reference, because either change would undermine the concept of a historically faithful Speedmaster format. The movement isn't a compromise — it's the whole point.
Brand profile: Omega
Omega is the second most counterfeited Swiss watch brand. The Speedmaster and Seamaster are especially targeted. Pay close attention to movement details (Co-Axial) and dial textures.
- Speedmaster: The chronograph reset hand must snap back precisely to 12 o'clock — fakes stop 1–3 seconds off or wobble
- Speedmaster (Hesalite): The Omega logo is micro-laser-etched on the UNDERSIDE of the Hesalite crystal — only visible at a specific angle and in the right light — fakes omit it or place it incorrectly
- Seamaster: The wave-pattern dial must be ENGRAVED (tactile relief) — printed/flat wave lines = fake
- DON (Dot Over Ninety): small dot ABOVE the '90' on the Speedmaster tachymeter bezel — position/size often wrong on fakes
Serial number format: Omega serial number: 8-digit number on the caseback or between the lugs (on older models). Since ~2018 engraved on the caseback at 6 o'clock. Format: purely numeric. Verifiable on the Omega website with an extract from the archive.
