This is the story of that timepiece \u2013 the \u2018Moonwatch\u2019 \u2013 how OMEGA\u2019s Speedmaster Professional \u2018accidentally\u2019 became the first watch on the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From Racetrack to Launchpad<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-1-1-4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-1-1-4.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-1-1-4-768x341.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Firing up our horlogerie time machine, we\u2019re rewinding to the Space Race. Post the Second World War, America and the Soviets employed Germany\u2019s rocket engineers, in a conquest to prove space-tech dominance. The Soviets took the initial lead by sending orbiting satellites and even cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space in \u201961. Lagging, and on the clock, the Americans made a desperate yet bold announcement to the world of sending a man to the moon by the end of the decade. In 1964, as NASA\u2019s procurement and contracts division prepped for mankind\u2019s greatest leap, they began sourcing reliable space gear for their Apollo astronauts. On their \u2018moon-trip\u2019 checklist was a chronograph, which needed to be capable of withstanding space extremities. Hence, they sent out a request for proposal to 10-15 Swiss watch manufacturers in the US. Only four responded, and after rigorous temperature, shock, impact, and pressure tests, just one survived: the Speedmaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Predating the Space Race by a mere decade, OMEGA\u2019s racetrack-bred Speedmaster made its debut in 1957. Designed for measuring lap times in professional racing with a triple sub-dial chronograph and tachymeter, it was revered as a Bastian of horlogerie ergonomics, accuracy, and technicality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Moonwatch \u2013 Reporting for Duty<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-2-1-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-2-1-2.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-2-1-2-768x341.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in 1965, NASA declared the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/watches\/omega\/speedmaster\">OMEGA Speedmaster<\/a> as \u201cflight-qualified for all manned space missions\u201d and will be a wristwear staple for every astronaut orbiting the Earth. A title earned amidst a daunting space exploration battle with the Soviet Union, hastily measures, and a prayer-bound leap to the skies. NASA\u2019s Gemini 4 mission crewmate Edward White wore the Speedmaster on America\u2019s first spacewalk. Four years later, Sir Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the lunar surface \u2013 this spaceflight dawned a new legacy for the OMEGA Speedmaster, cementing its name as the \u2018Moonwatch\u2019. To reflect this historical feat, OMEGA Speedmaster casebacks proudly engrave \u201cFlight-Qualified By NASA\u201d and \u201cThe First Watch Worn On The Moon\u201d to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Speedmaster Lineage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-5.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-5.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-5-768x341.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, all glory traces back to the manual-wound, chronograph calibre 321 borne by the Ref. CK 2915 \u2013 the earliest generation of the Speedmaster (1957). With a soft iron core and heavy shock resistance, it earned itself quite a reputation for durability, standing as a testament to how resilient a movement this was at the time. This was interestingly launched alongside the first-gen Seamaster 300 and the lesser-known OMEGA Railmaster \u2013 which, all together, were regarded as the holy trinity of OMEGAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In form and function, the Ref. CK 2915 laid the blueprint for the Speedmaster\u2019s evolution, and in 1964, the world saw the first \u2018Professional\u2019. The same silhouette, calibre, and mission, just refined in a few cosmetic sensibilities with an anodised tachymeter and Lume-tipped seconds\u2019 hand. Notably, it was this very model worn by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon. The Speedmaster worn by Micheal Collins during Apollo 11 was a later version, introduced in \u201968 (Ref 145.012) due to him receiving a later batch of Speedmasters as compared to the rest of the astronauts. The only notable difference was the caseback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cHouston, We Have a Problem\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OMEGA\u2019s space ventures with NASA don\u2019t end here \u2013 in 1970, it was an OMEGA that saved the Apollo 13 mission and its astronauts from a fatal engine disaster. Nearly 320,000 miles away from home and 56 hours into the mission, the crew reports their spacecraft\u2019s oxygen tank has exploded alongside an electric power loss \u2013 \u201cHouston, we\u2019ve had a problem\u201d famously exclaimed one of the astronauts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After aborting the Lunar landing mission, they turned back home \u2013 however, to safely re-enter Earth\u2019s atmosphere, the spacecraft needed to precisely accelerate and decelerate. With timekeeping playing a critical role here, the astronauts instinctively ditched their digital gear and went acoustic \u2013 using their Speedmaster. These critical fourteen seconds of re-entry earned OMEGA a Silver Snoopy Award. The Space Race with the Soviet Union came to a close in 1975, as the Apollo rocket rocked with Soyuz in space. During this historic handshake, all astronauts wore Speedmasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Present-Day Icon \u2013 OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-8.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-8.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-8-768x341.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After decades of service as a space-wear chronograph, the Speedmaster still retains its signature form and technological brilliance.

The black, anodised aluminium tachymeter bezel monochromatically compliments the dial.
