Reference: Omega Speedmaster (reference unidentified) unidentified
Monochrome Watches identifies the watch as a Speedmaster from photographs; no outlet has pinned the exact reference, and speculation about the generation is too weak to publish as fact.
Monochrome Watches’ “Watching Celeb Watches” feature on the Top Gear presenters captions a photograph plainly: Richard Hammond wearing an Omega Speedmaster — his classic choice. The watch was discussed during the 2012 “50 Years of Bond Cars” special, and a PistonHeads forum thread independently noted Hammond wearing a Speedmaster Moonwatch in the same era.
What we can’t tell you is the reference. No outlet has pinned it, and the speculation floating around about which Moonwatch generation it is doesn’t meet our bar. So the entry says what the evidence supports: a Speedmaster, outlet-confirmed by a top-tier watch publication with a photograph — and the exact reference honestly unidentified.
There’s something fitting about it. Of the three presenters, the one most associated with precision machinery chose the chronograph NASA flight-qualified. Clarkson’s tastes ran elsewhere; Hammond’s ran to the Moon.
