Launched in 1957, the Omega Speedmaster has become a legend in watchmaking, notably thanks to its iconic role during lunar missions. Today, the Speedmaster '57 collection pays tribute to this historic model while incorporating major technical advancements. We invite you to explore this exceptional model, available in our boutiques on the French Riviera.​

A Legendary Heritage Since 1957

The Omega Speedmaster '57 holds a special place in the history of watchmaking. Launched in 1957 under the reference CK2915, it was originally designed for engineers, pilots, and speed enthusiasts, hence its iconic tachymeter bezel—a first at the time. This innovative design allowed users to calculate speed based on elapsed time, quickly becoming a must-have feature in the world of sports timing.

But it was its evolution over the following decades that elevated it to iconic status. In 1965, the Speedmaster was officially approved by NASA for all manned space missions, eventually becoming the first watch worn on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. This extraordinary story gave birth to the famous Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch collection, carrying on the legacy of this unique space adventure.

The current '57 version pays faithful tribute to this pioneering model by elegantly reinterpreting its original design codes—symmetrical case, straight lugs, Broad Arrow hands—while integrating the cutting-edge technologies that define Omega today. This reinterpretation is part of the broad range of Omega Speedmaster watches, where each model tells a chapter of this exceptional watchmaking story.

A Design Inspired by 1957

The Speedmaster '57 features the classic lines of the original Speedmaster, including the straight lugs characteristic of the CK2915 model. Its 40.5 mm stainless steel case has a satin finish and a blackened tachymeter bezel. The green dial, adorned with rhodium-plated indexes and white Super-LumiNova-coated “Broad Arrow” hands, ensures optimal legibility. At 6 o’clock, a date window is seamlessly integrated, while a small seconds counter appears at 9 o’clock. The back of the case is engraved with “Speedmaster '57,” and the flat sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective treatment guarantees uncompromising clarity.​

This attention to detail and timeless elegance make the Speedmaster '57 a top choice among Omega men’s watches. Its 40.5 mm diameter provides a bold wrist presence while remaining perfectly proportioned—an ideal balance appreciated by fine watch connoisseurs.

An Exceptional Movement: Calibre 9906

The Speedmaster '57 is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9906, a hand-wound mechanical movement known for its precision and robustness. Certified Master Chronometer by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), it meets the highest standards of performance, magnetic resistance, and reliability.

This calibre offers a 60-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. It includes a silicon balance spring that is entirely resistant to magnetic interference and features the Co-Axial escapement—an innovation patented by renowned watchmaker George Daniels. This system reduces internal friction, extending the movement’s lifespan while improving its long-term accuracy.

This technical excellence is found throughout the Omega watch collection, where each movement is developed with the same commitment to quality. Innovations like the Co-Axial escapement and Master Chronometer certification reflect Omega’s dedication to horological perfection.

Other Models in the Speedmaster Collection

The Speedmaster '57 belongs to a rich and diverse watch family. For motorsport enthusiasts, the Omega Speedmaster Racing watches offer colorful dials and circuit-inspired designs. Those who appreciate complications will love the Omega Speedmaster Moonphase watches, which add the poetic charm of a moonphase display to the precision of a chronograph.

For those seeking a watch with multiple measuring scales, the Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope models offer sophisticated dials featuring tachymeter, telemeter, and pulsometer scales. Finally, the bold Omega Dark Side of the Moon collection reinvents the Speedmaster with black ceramic materials, evoking the dark side of our satellite.
