Omega Speedmaster MKII 327.10.43.50.06.001

Long known as the “Moonwatch”, Omega's Speedmaster became an instant legend in the early 1960s when it was chosen by NASA for official use in space, including the Gemini and Apollo programmes. But it was not originally designed for such a use. So in 1969, Omega produced a new, even more qualified watch—the Speedmaster MkII—for space missions, only to find that this improved model was rejected by the astronauts for purely superstitious reasons: they had come to trust their beloved original Speedies and didn't want to change them in any way. The otherwise excellent MkII seemed destined to fade into the shadows of history—until, happily, Omega re-released this updated version in 2014, with a modern movement but almost identical design.
