Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 Edition Watch

Omega Speedmaster

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!”

Omega Constellation Double Eagle Chronograph

Omega Constellation

These 18kt red gold and diamond chronographs are a stunning interpretation of the watch which Omega has chosen to be associated with the noble sport of golf. Brought to life with the sparkle of diamonds and the warmth of a rich chocolate brown dial, these jewellery editions of this sporting favourite and design classic bring glamour, style and mechanical excellence to the green.

True to its family heritage, the Double Eagle Co-Axial Jewellery Chronographs display the iconic “claws” or “griffes” of the Constellation Line that were first introduced in 1982. On the men’s chronograph (41 mm case), the distinctive design is enhanced by the presence of 22 baguette-cut diamonds that total approximately 3.90 carats. Even the “claws” are adorned with 34 baguette-cut diamonds. Similarly, the bezel and ‘claws’ of the women’s model (in a 35 mm case) are set with 96 diamonds (1.56 carats) and the crown is enhanced with a briolette diamond (0.20 carat).

In both models, the highly original dial has a brown PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) treatment that radiates in a sun-brushed pattern from the 9 o’clock position on the face and provides a bold backdrop for the 12-hour and 30-minute sub dials. In the women’s chronograph, these sub dials are fashioned out of pink-brown mother-of-pearl. A third sub-dial, a discreet small seconds counter, is found at 9 o’clock and a date window has been placed between 4 and 5 o’clock.

True to the sporty origins of the chronograph, the Double Eagle remains a robust watch for all seasons. It is perfect for those looking for a contemporary watch using the latest technology with a subtle sporting edge that will take them from day to evening in style.
