Introduced in 1957 as part of Omega’s professional tool watch trilogy, the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Its robust construction, manual-wind chronograph movement, and legible dial earned NASA certification after rigorous testing.
Over the decades, the Moonwatch has retained its core design while evolving technically through updated calibres, improved materials, and Master Chronometer certification.
Today, the Speedmaster Moonwatch stands as one of the most iconic chronographs in horological history, valued for its space exploration heritage and enduring mechanical integrity.
