All you need to know about Omega Speedmaster
Originally designed for racing drivers and motorsport enthusiasts, the Speedmaster featured a tachymeter bezel and a highly legible dial with contrasting sub-dials — a design that remains a hallmark of the collection to this day. Its robust construction, precise movement, and chronograph functionality made it an instant favorite among professional athletes, pilots, and adventurers.
However, the defining moment in the Speedmaster's history came in 1965 when NASA selected it as the official watch for its manned space missions. After rigorous testing and evaluation, the Speedmaster became the first watch to be flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions, including the Apollo program.

In 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission, astronaut Buzz Aldrin famously wore his Omega Speedmaster while setting foot on the lunar surface, making it the first watch to be worn on the moon. This historic moment cemented the Speedmaster's place in history and elevated it to legendary status among watch enthusiasts worldwide.
