Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch 42mm [ID14531]

When talking about fine watchmaking, one brand that can't be left out of the conversation is Omega. Specially for the model that made this brand worldwide renowned when it was put to the test at one of the milestones in human history: the conquest of the outer space.The Speedmaster Professional or "the first watch on the moon" is nowadays the result of this brand's spirit of going beyond the imaginable. However, the Speedmaster has a background long before moon missions (what in the collectors world is known as pre-moon editions). Having one of the most important chronographs developed at the time, this timepiece was originally conceived for racing, sports competition and professional use with special features and a precise tachymetric scale. The intelligent and careful manufacture of both the chronograph and its machinery caught NASA's attention back in the 60's. After running tough tests, the Omega Speedmaster was the only watch to withstand them and achieve NASA's certification for space exploration and approval to join the next space mission's crew. Ever since, this iconic timepiece has been in six lunar expeditions. The aesthetics that remain practically the same from the first models, make this timeless wrist watch fascinating for generation after generation. Beyond the long tradition of this emblematic master piece, the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is one of the watches with the most enthusiasts in the fine watchmaking world and that only true collectors know that: having this watch is having a piece of human history.
