The OMEGA Speedmaster has a rich and storied history that has made it one of the most iconic watches of all time. Introduced in 1957 as part of OMEGA's 'Professional' collection, the Speedmaster was originally designed as a high-precision sports and racing chronograph, with features like a tachymeter scale on the bezel and a 1/5th second chronograph. The Speedmaster quickly gained a reputation as a capable and durable tool watch, powered by the legendary Caliber 321 movement. While it was not initially intended for spaceflight, the Speedmaster's reliability and legibility caught the attention of NASA, which subjected it to a series of grueling tests in the early 1960s. In 1965, the Speedmaster became the first watch officially qualified by NASA for use in space missions, cementing its status as the 'Moonwatch.' This culminated in 1969 when Buzz Aldrin wore his OMEGA Speedmaster on the surface of the moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission, making it the first watch worn on the lunar surface. Over 60 years since its debut, the Speedmaster's iconic design has barely changed, becoming a beloved classic across the entire spectrum of watch enthusiasts.
