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.
