Description
One of the most iconic and most respected watches ever produced, and a watch that has been in continuous production since 1957.
The Omega Speedmaster was originally introduced as a sports and racing chronograph. This made sense at the time since essentially all other chronographs on the market were racing chronographs as well.
When NASA chose Omega’s chronographs for all its manned missions into space and for the Apollo program, Omega got a golden marketing opportunity that it simply couldn’t let slip away.
Today, The Speedmaster is known as the ”Moonwatch”, and it was after the Moon landings of 1969 that it was added to the name. This is the only watch ever to be approved by NASA to be used in all piloted space missions right up until the modern-day.
