The legendary OMEGA Speedmaster watch line is made up of five types of chronographs : the Speedmaster Professional, the official watch of the astronauts and cosmonauts, the only watch ever worn on the Moon and the attractively priced Speedmaster Automatic, a slightly smaller copy of the original Moon Watch but with a self-winding mechanical movement. Speedmaster Professional was the first watches to be worn on the moon on 21 July 1969 by astronaught Neil Armstrong. As he made the famous steps quoting "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind", he was wearing his Omega Speedmaster professional chronograph. After undergoing the toughest series of tests in the history of watchmaking, the Speedmaster Professional had been selected by NASA, in 1965, to accompany man's greatest adventure of all time, recording significant moments in the conquest of space.And, in 1970, this same chronograph was instrumental in rescuing the crew and craft of the Apollo 13 mission from disaster after an on-board explosion timing the rocket engine firing that sent them back to earth.
Today on its way to Mars, OMEGA is once more a pioneer in space exploration. After five years of development and tests with astronauts and cosmonauts, in 1998 OMEGA introduced the new Speedmaster X-33, which is now standard equipment for NASA Space Shuttle flights, as well for the Russian MIR. The Speedmaster earned itself the nickname by which it is still known today: The Moon Watch.
In the new century, the world conquerors of outer space-along with hi-tech aficionados like Formula 1 race driver Michael Schumacher-will continue to rely on Speedmaster Professional.
