It was launched as a part of Omega\u2019s trilogy of Professional watches alongside The Railmaster and Seamaster 300. From being the first Omega timepiece to go in space to becoming the iconic Moonwatch, Speedmaster is the undisputed champion of space and horological history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speedmaster\u2019s Love Affair with Space<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the original model was designed principally for racing car drivers, the watch had a different destiny awaiting. In 1962, Walter Schirra wore CK 2998, the second version of the style, as his personal watch on Project Mercury. And from there on started Speedmaster\u2019s sally into space exploration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the coming years, this luxury watch became the only timepiece to be declared \u201cFlight Qualified for all Manned Space Missions\u201d by NASA. It was a part of several space visits before finally landing on the Moon and creating history!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12445\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12445\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/men\/omega-black-stainless-steel-speedmaster-moonwatch-tachymeter-145022-69-mens-wristwatch-42mm-p278917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12445 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/moonwatch-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Omega Speedmaster\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Speedmaster Moonwatch 145.022-69 Men&#8217;s Wristwatch 42MM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speedmaster\u2019s celestial romance is still thriving as the brand continues to make commemorative editions from time to time. To celebrate the watch\u2019s 51st anniversary of landing on the moon, Omega introduced Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Stainless Steel, wherein the iconic Calibre 321 that powered the first Moonwatch was recreated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor Men Who Reckon Time in Seconds.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the prodigious presence of the fantastic Moonwatch and its spectacular history, the actual intention behind the development of this style has often been brushed aside. It was the first chronograph to have the tachymeter scale on the bezel in lieu of the dial. This technical update allowed athletes (especially racing car drivers) a quicker reference to the scale for measuring speed. A detail that was nothing short of a revelation in the realm of sports watches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Omega has never overlooked the watch\u2019s racing origins. Some of the coolest iterations of this luxury watch are devoted to its sports heritage. The popular Schumacher Edition launched in 1996 by the racing legend Michael Schumacher, and Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer are a few examples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12454\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/men\/omega-brown-stainless-steel-speedmaster-schumacher-racing-limited-edition-35195000-mens-wristwatch-39-mm-p303427\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12454 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Limited-Edition-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Limited Edition\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Speedmaster Schumacher Racing Limited Edition 3519.50.00 Men&#8217;s Wristwatch 39 MM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speedmaster&#8217;s latest model, where sky meets the sea, takes its sports legacy forward. In the wake of becoming the official timekeeper of America&#8217;s Cup to be held in 2021, Omega has launched a special edition of the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon in partnership with Alinghi. This sailing team won the series in 2003 and 2007. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/pages\/watches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gems From The Luxury Closet<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below catalogued are four investment-worthy Speedmasters.
