Omega has designed a watch inspired by the Apollo 11 mission modules to celebrate the 45^th anniversary of man’s first steps on the moon (there were actually two of them: Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin) and the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch’s new status as an icon. The 42mm grey titanium case, Sedna^TM gold bezel and black ceramic ring bound by a brown nylon NATO strap epitomise the “Eagle” lunar module which the two American astronauts climbed off to walk on the moon. In terms of the mechanism, this anniversary piece has the same manual-winding chronograph movement as the legendary Moonwatch: the chronograph’s hour, minutes and seconds in the middle, small second at 9 o’ clock, 30-minute counter and 12-hour counter at 3 o’ clock and 6 o’ clock respectively. The “Eagle” landed on July 20^th 1969 and fittingly, this edition is limited to 1969 models. Price: 6,900 CHF
