It is now 50 years since mankind took its first daring steps onto the moon – a moment that changed history (and the limits of possibility) forever. Marking the golden anniversary, Omega has produced a new Limited Edition Speedmaster of 1 014 pieces, delivered with a five-year warranty.

Following the famous design of the Speedmaster BA145.022, this new chronograph has been crafted from an exclusive new 18K gold alloy and is powered by a brand new manual-winding Master Chronometer calibre 3861.

The first watch worn on the moon makes a comeback

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the lunar surface on the 21st of July 1969. Their moonwalk lasted just two and a half hours, but their achievements left a defining footprint on the history of space exploration. It was during this iconic moment that the Omega Speedmaster Professional became the first watch worn on the moon.
