A propos de Speedmaster
Widely celebrated for its association with space exploration, the Omega Speedmaster, also dubbed the Moonwatch, is the only timepiece to ever be worn on the moon. The history behind the Speedmaster family of chronographs is often popularized by Buzz Aldrin who wore one when he landed on the moon in 1969. However, the Omega Speedmaster was launched into space long beforehand as Walter “Wally” Schirra dawned his own Speedmaster CK 2998 during the Sigma 7 mission of the Mercury program in 1962. At the time, NASA had not yet made wristwatches a part of the official astronaut uniform, but as time passed and technology evolved, they began demanding mechanical backup timing devices. Today, the Omega Speedmaster is the only piece of equipment used in all of NASA’s piloted space missions, giving definition to its precise, reliable, and rugged character. If you’re one who seeks variety and limited edition models, the Moonwatch will take your breath away. Explore our Omega Speedmaster collection for a breadth of models including hand-wound stainless steel pieces and automatics with ceramic cases.
