Who & what: Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Stainless Steel 310.32.42.50.01.001 — Ryan Reynolds

In Netflix's sci-fi adventure The Adam Project (2022), director Shawn Levy dressed Ryan Reynolds's character Adam Reed with understated, utilitarian style — and the watch on his wrist follows the same logic. A close examination of the on-screen piece reveals the unmistakable silhouette of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, identifiable by its black stepped dial, tachymetre bezel, and three subsidiary chronograph registers. Reynolds wears it on what appears to be a dark NATO or nylon strap, consistent with the rugged aesthetic the production required.

The watch in question is almost certainly the current-generation Speedmaster Professional ref. 310.32.42.50.01.001, introduced in 2021 as part of Omega's comprehensive Speedmaster refresh. The 42mm stainless steel case houses the calibre 3861, Omega's most advanced manual-wind chronograph movement, achieving Master Chronometer certification — meaning it meets METAS standards for magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss and accuracy within 0/+5 seconds per day. The sapphire-to-sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the movement architecture, a significant upgrade over the earlier calibre 1861 it replaced.

Collectors and enthusiasts responded strongly to the 2021 reissue. Omega re-engineered the Speedmaster from the ground up while preserving every visual element that made the original iconic: the asymmetric case, the pump pushers, the applied Omega logo on the black dial. The switch to a Co-Axial escapement and the METAS certification elevated the Moonwatch from a heritage icon to a serious technical instrument. Demand on the secondary market remains firm, with grey prices frequently trading at or above retail.

Reynolds has long favoured accessible-yet-serious watches on and off screen. The Speedmaster Professional suits his screen persona well — functional, globally recognised, free of ostentatious flourish. Within the film's time-travel narrative, the choice of a watch historically linked to space exploration carries an additional layer of meaning that production's costume department likely appreciated.

At a retail price of approximately $6,300 USD for the standard configuration, the Speedmaster Professional ref. 310.32.42.50.01.001 remains one of the most compelling value propositions in Swiss watchmaking — a movement and heritage story that justifies every dollar of its price point.
