Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch
The Omega Speedmaster Professional was the first watch on the moon โ it doesnโt get much more acclaimed for a watch than that. Even before the infamous moonwalk in 1969, the Speedmaster was already heavily utilized by American astronauts. This 42mm version is a modern evolution of the early chronographs that Omega provided to those space pioneers. A hesalite crystal and steel case back help this model retain a retro quality that is an admirable tribute to the engineering prowess of the Omega Speedmaster.
