Watch Description
The Speedmaster is unequivocally Omega’s most historically important model to date.
Having enjoyed a variety of dial, bezel, hand and bracelet variations, its history spans almost sixty years with the very first Speedmaster launched in 1957.
Originally designed for racecar drivers, the Speedmaster eventually entered space, an accomplishment that has reached almost mythical lore.
The Speedmasters underwent rigorous testing before being declared as ‘qualified’ for space travel.
Launched at Baselworld in 1999, reference 3689.30.31 was made to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing in 1969.
