Introduced as a sports and racing chronograph in 1957, the 'Speedmaster' perfectly complemented Omega's title as official timekeeper of the Olympic games, something it still holds now. Today, the 'Speedmaster' is also known as the 'Moonwatch' thanks to NASA's interest in it, becoming the first timepiece worn on the moon thanks to its involvement in the 1969 moon landings. This special-edition 'Apollo XVII' is limited to just 1, 972 pieces and celebrates the 45th anniversary of the later moon landing in 1972. Powered by the Omega calibre 1861, this is a unique watch. It features a polished blue ceramic bezel and dial, where the latter flaunts 05:34 GMT", printed in red indicating the time that Cernan made the final step on the moon. Plus, the 9 o'clock subdial is distinguished by a depiction of the God Apollo and the moon, etched in PVD with a chrome finish. This is a watch perfect for Omega fans and those fascinated with outer space.
