The OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Master Chronometer

As a brand, Swiss watchmaker OMEGA has a worldwide reputation for crafting pieces that appeal to a range of tastes and lifestyles. OMEGA is also the official timekeeper for many global sporting events and is responsible for many firsts – for example, one of the company’s most famous collections, the Speedmaster, was the first to set foot on the moon.

This extraordinary achievement is just one reason why OMEGA watches are so popular. The brand’s attention to detail, the precision of the pieces, their high quality and their stunning design, also explain why OMEGA is so sought-after by enthusiasts and public figures alike, from George Clooney to Daniel Craig and Prince William.

OMEGA Speedmaster Watches

NASA tested several watches, but the OMEGA Speedmaster was the only one to survive them in 1962. This catapulted it to the top of the list, considering it performed well in temperature, speed and pressure tests.

Astronaut Wally Schirra wore a Speedmaster during the Mercury Sigma 7 Mission and, in 1969, astronaut Buzz Aldrin (who’s also a brand ambassador for OMEGA), wore a Speedmaster on his wrist as he stepped on the moon.

The Speedmaster is durable, accurate and offers a timeless, yet undeniably modern, appeal. Made to perform in even the harshest conditions, the Speedmaster, like other OMEGA watches, can take up to 500 hours to craft, showcasing the watchmaker’s commitment to quality and passion for excellence.

It’s also worth noting that the Speedmaster watches are classed as Master Chronometer as well, a title awarded only to the best of the best. To be a Master Chronometer, a watch must pass eight rigorous tests that examine features like shock resistance, power reserve and water-resistance.

The aim is to ensure that OMEGA Speedmaster watches can perform no matter what.

There’s a Speedmaster for everyone and for every occasion, as the collection is vast and varied, providing the perfect accessory and adventure piece for both ladies and gents. Below, we’re highlighting the Moonwatch, another iconic model in the collection.
