THE SPEEDMASTER MOONWATCH “FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE”

The Speedmaster ref. CK 2998 was the first OMEGA to reach space, when astronaut Walter Schirra wore the watch during the ‘Sigma 7’ mission of the Mercury Programme in 1962. Schirra had purchased the watch for his own use, but two and a half years later, the Speedmaster would be officially certified by NASA for all manned-missions, launching it into history.

A MOONWATCH FOR A NEW CENTURY

50 years on from Schirra’s historic mission, we celebrated the first OMEGA in space, by creating an updated model of his iconic Speedmaster. Respectfully and subtly redesigned for the 21st century; the new Moonwatch features the same black dial, black bezel and stainless steel case with symmetric lugs. As a further tribute to the original, both Baton and Alpha style hands are used.
