Omega is celebrating the landing on the moon 40 years ago on 20th of July, 1969 with the limited edition Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11. If you’re unfamiliar with Omega’s “Moonwatch” story, when an electronic timing system malfunctioned on Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong used his Omega Speedmaster Professional to keep track of time.
The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 40th Anniversary Edition keeps many of the Omega Chronograph Moonwatch technical features including 42mm size, shatterproof hesalite crystal, black tachymeter bezel, and Lemania hand-wound movement.
Limited Edition of 7,969 pieces will be made of the “only watch to ever be worn on the moon!”
I want a moonwatch! :D
Have a typo Terry, its Neil. :)
I checked here for the story: http://watchescorner.blogspot......aster.html (It has a different story here about the timing system failing, not sure which account is true) I haven’t heard about the story before, but the watch itself does have a lot of history to follow it. The original watch looks really nice too, I wonder how much these will go for.
I have a James Bond 007 Omega Seamaster,and I love it every time I wear it every one loves it specialy the “Bitches’,but this one is very beauitful,I am definitely going to get one.
