Since its creation in 1957, the Omega Speedmaster has become a symbol of watchmaking excellence and a privileged witness of space history. Nicknamed the Moonwatch, it was the first timepiece worn on the Moon and continues to embody the spirit of adventure and innovation.​

A History Etched in Lunar Metal

The story of the Omega Speedmaster watch began in 1957, when Omega launched this chronograph for pilots and engineers. However, it was in 1965 that the watch gained worldwide fame. The NASA, in search of a timepiece capable of withstanding the extreme conditions of space, selected the Speedmaster after a series of rigorous tests. It thus became the official watch of American manned space missions.

During the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, astronaut Buzz Aldrin wore his Speedmaster during the Moon landing, making it the first watch worn on the lunar surface. This achievement solidified the bond between Omega and space exploration—a partnership that continues to this day.​

This lunar legacy has inspired numerous variations, including the Omega Dark Side of the Moon collection, which pays tribute to the brand’s space heritage with innovative materials like black ceramic. Collectors also admire vintage-inspired models like the Omega Speedmaster '57, which echoes the original 1957 design.

Technical Features: Excellence on the Wrist

The Speedmaster Moonwatch stands out with its timeless design and exceptional performance.

Movement

At the heart of the watch beats the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, an automatic movement certified as a chronometer, offering a 50-hour power reserve. This calibre features a silicon balance spring, ensuring outstanding precision and enhanced resistance to magnetic fields.​

Design

The 42 mm stainless steel case is topped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal for optimal legibility. The black dial features luminous hands and markers, while the tachymeter bezel allows speed measurement.​

Water Resistance

The watch is water-resistant to 50 meters, providing protection from splashes and light immersion.​

For those who enjoy watchmaking complications, the Omega Speedmaster Moonphase offers a highly precise moonphase display, while the Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope features advanced chronograph functions with tachymeter, telemeter, and pulsometer scales.
