Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional: The Watch of the Moon Landing

The Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional is the chronograph with which the history of spaceflight on the wrist began. In 1965 NASA qualified the Speedmaster for crewed missions after gruelling tests, and in 1969 Buzz Aldrin wore it on the lunar surface during Apollo 11. Its design still closely follows the model worn on the Moon: an asymmetrical 42 mm case, a tachymeter bezel and manual winding – and since 2021 once again the black step dial.

Calibre 3861, Hesalite or sapphire crystal

The current generation is powered by the hand-wound calibre 3861. It is certified as a Co-Axial Master Chronometer by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), resistant to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss and offers a power reserve of around 50 hours. You can choose between the classic version with Hesalite crystal and solid caseback and the version with sapphire crystal and a transparent caseback that reveals the movement.

Steel, gold, white dial and Silver Snoopy Award

Alongside the steel models, the Moonwatch Professional is available in Omega's own 18-carat gold alloys Sedna, Moonshine and Canopus Gold, as well as in steel with a white lacquered step dial. The Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary holds a special place: it commemorates the award Omega received from NASA's astronauts in 1970 for the Speedmaster's role in Apollo 13. For an overview of all variants, see the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch; the ceramic models can be found under Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon and the moon-phase versions under Speedmaster Moonwatch Moonphase.
