The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch can allow anyone to add a piece of history to their timepiece collection. Dating back to 1957 when it was part of the Seamaster line, this iconic watch was presented as an accurate chronograph and the official timekeeper for the Olympics. The famed achievements of this Omega watch didn't end there. In 1962, NASA began testing various chronographs for their performance in harsh conditions found in outer space. The Omega Speedmaster came out on top. Some of the arduous trials endured by these watches included temperature extremes, relative humidity, high pressure, shock, acceleration, and vibration. One feature of the Speedmaster that helped this historic piece pass NASA's standards was the Calibre 321, which has since been upgraded to the Calibre 861, providing exceptionally accurate movement. Among the astronauts who wore a Speedmaster were Wally Schirra on the Mercury flight, Ed White during the Gemini 4 mission, and Buzz Aldrin when he first stepped foot onto the moon. Neil Armstrong was also equipped with the same model, which he left on the Lunar Module. 

This Omega Moonwatch is created to honor the history of the Speedmaster and that first manned mission to the moon. To commemorate the moon landing event and the Moonwatch being the first watch worn on the moon, each casing features engraving on the back. You will see the Omega emblem along with a notation about the first lunar landing mission and the flight qualifications that Omega met with these models. With a stainless-steel casing, the jet black face and domed Plexiglas crystal can stand out as part of a classic timepiece. The high contrast white hands and tick marks along the dial can make it easy to read the time in brightly or dimly lit environments. The distinctive hands are coated with Super-LumiNova for brilliance in a darkened space. The broad arrow hands evolved into alpha hands. Since this Omega watch was designed as a sports and racing chronograph, you can find a professional tachymeter along the black steel bezel for tracking speed. Buttons on the side operate the three subdials on the face when pressed. You can also use these buttons to operate the timer features of the Omega Speedmaster.

The OMEGA Speedmaster is one of OMEGA’s most iconic timepieces. Having been a part of all six lunar missions, the legendary Speedmaster is an impressive representation of the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit.

This OMEGA Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” features a black dial covered by a hesalite crystal and graced by a small second’s sub-dial, 30-minute recorder and 12-hour recorder along with a central chronograph hand. The black bezel, with its tachymetric scale, is mounted on a 42 mm stainless steel case and presented on a matching bracelet.

At the heart of this chronograph is OMEGA’s mechanical caliber 1861, the legendary manual-winding movement worn on the Moon. This timepiece is offered with a special Moonwatch presentation box which contains a "NATO" strap, a strap for astronauts, The following is not included (missing) a tool to change the bracelet (I have included a premium experts watches tool valued $19.99) and a book highlighting Speedmaster's adventures.
