OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Chrono Moonwatch
OMEGA’s Limited Series launch of the Speedmaster Professional Chronograph Moonwatch is sure to create a stir among Moonwatch purists. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Speedmaster - the first and still the only watch to have been worn on the Moon - a Limited Series of 5,957 stainless steel pieces with a special commemorative design of a golden seahorse on the dial will give collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of space history. The physiognomy of the 42 mm Professional Chronograph Moonwatch with its black dial, chronograph counters and tachymeter scale bears the DNA of the original hand-winding 1957 Speedmaster and its heart is powered by the famous Calibre 1861 that accompanied the watch into zero gravity.
Launched in 1957 and designed to measure speed with chronograph and tachymeter functions, the Speedmaster has proved time and time again an invaluable and life saving partner to pilots, astronauts and explorers as they defy boundaries and push to ever-higher limits in the exploration of the universe. With an impressive track record of 11 NASA tests and 6 Moon landings, the Speedmaster has been on every US manned space flight and is currently on board Russia’s ISS International Space Station making this manual-winding timepiece a cornerstone of horological and space history.

Indeed, the best watch of all times, Omega Speedmaster Professional is far away the best watch in the world. I have my own Speedmaster and I must admit that I don´t belive something else would be as good as it is. Accuracy is close to 0 seconds per day, last time when I tuned was about 6 months ago and I have found a way to keep it perfect accurate: a certain position will make the watch go faster with about 1.5-2 seconds per day, another position will slow it down at the same rate, so no need for tuning. You do realise that the only watch that landed on the Moon can only be just close to perfection! Indeed, that´s the simple truth...
