Omega Speedmaster Watches

The very first Speedmaster chronograph appeared in 1957, with the reference CK2915. Omega’s aim with the Speedmaster was to create a new kind of chronograph, designed for research, industry and sport. But destiny decided otherwise…

Back in 1962, NASA began approaching watch makers who could meet the needs of astronauts for precise, tough, readable and reliable wristwatches. Chronographs from all brands were submitted to a battery of tests: only Omega’s Speedmaster passed with flying colours.

In 1965 the Speedmaster was officially approved by NASA as “Flight Qualified by NASA for all manned space missions”, having been subjected to weightlessness, magnetic fields, violent shocks, vibration and the most extreme of temperatures.

On the 21st of July 1969, Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon with a Speedmaster on his wrist. The Speedmaster then became known as the Moon Watch.

It was used on successive space missions. The Speedmaster was specially selected by NASA in 1978 for a new series of tough tests for the American Space Shuttle programme. It was also worn on the Russian space station, MIR, which also subjected it to new and exacting tests. It is without doubt the most tried and tested watch in the world!

In 1998 the Speedmaster X-33 chronograph appeared and was approved by NASA and the Russian space agency. Since then it has become standard equipment for all astronauts.

Omega’s Speedmaster is at the very pinnacle of the watch maker’s art. It has a well deserved place in history for its innovation and record-breaking plus its effect on the aesthetics of its time.
