The Omega Speedmaster is a legendary chronograph watch with a rich history dating back to 1957. Originally designed as a racing and sports chronograph, it gained iconic status as the first watch worn on the moon during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
The Speedmaster’s signature design includes a black dial with three subdials and a tachymeter bezel, making it highly functional for measuring elapsed time and calculating speed. Its robust construction, featuring a manually wound movement, was initially intended for motorsport timing.
The Speedmaster’s moonwatch status began when NASA chose it for the Apollo program. It passed rigorous testing and became part of astronaut equipment. Neil Armstrong famously wore his Speedmaster when he became the first person to walk on the moon.
