Omega celebrate man’s walk on the moon with a special Speedmaster

July 2004




To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Man’s first walk on the moon, Omega has issued a special Limited Edition of the famous Speedmaster Professional.
Launched in 1957, the Speedmaster underwent very few modifications to meet the stringent needs of NASA and its astronauts for the Apollo 11 landing and the watch continues to be used in manned spaceflight missions.
The 35th anniversary model incorporates all the same chronographic features and its Omega Calibre 1861 mechanical hand-wound movement has a power reserve of 45 hours.
To commemorate the event and the watch, Omega has engraved a special Apollo 11 patch on the sapphire ceaseback and placed the actual date of the event on the new dial.
This anniversary model is produced as a Limited Edition of 3,500 pieces – each one being individually numbered.
