Get up to speed
Born in 1957, the Omega Speedmaster is a legend. The timepiece is often associated with the NASA space flight programmes of the 1960’s and 1970’s. In 1969, spaceman Buzz Aldrin wore the Speedmaster Professional – a chronograph that earned the title ‘Moonwatch’, when he stepped on the surface of the moon.
The first generation’s wristwatches were not intended for space flight though, it functioned more of a tool watch for racing car drivers as it was the world’s first chronograph wristwatch with a tachymeter scale on the bezel. Hence, today these watches are prized by serious watch collectors, which were made in limited quantity.
