SPEEDMASTER IN SPACE On 1st March 1965, OMEGA's Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions". The most memorable moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 21 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface. The Apollo 11 mission was a milestone in history and the Speedmaster became the first watch (and the only watch since) to be worn on the Moon. With this unique accomplishment came a unique nickname: the Moonwatch. OMEGA has always been driven by its pioneering spirit: six lunar landings; the first divers’ watch; the world’s only certified marine chronometer wristwatch. No watch company in the world holds more records for accuracy. OMEGA is also a world leader in sports timekeeping. We are proud of this legacy and of the commitment to innovation which led to the launch of the exclusive OMEGA Co- Axial calibres. These achievements are products of the drive and spirit which have made OMEGA one of the world’s leading watchmakers. (http://www.omegawatches.com)
