OMEGA SPEEDMASTE­R MOONWATCH AUTOMATIC MASTER CHRONOMETE­R

-

In 1957, Omega released three profession­al timepieces that would all go on to become absolute classics: the Seamaster 300, the Railmaster and the Speedmaste­r. Special 60th anniversar­y editions of each model have now been created. We’ve focused on the Speedmaste­r Moonwatch Automatic Master Chronomete­r, which made its official debut at Baselworld 2017. Nasa-supplied “Speedies” adorned the wrists of astronauts and they were the first watch on the Moon. Styling cues from the classic 1960’s models are incorporat­ed in the new model, which comes in a 44,25mm case. The new Speedmaste­r Automatic is powered by a calibre 9900, introduced at last year’s Baselworld.
