Speedmaster Watches



Omega was founded at La Chaus-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by Louis Brandt, and was continued by his children until the union of Omega and Tissot in 1930. The company has contiued to grow and manufacture prestige Swiss watches year after year. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 22 Olympic Games. A partnership forged on the shared desire to record for future generations the valiant attempts of the young men and women of the world to go faster, higher and stronger. Today, exceptional watches are released with the same quality of componants and exact engineering that drove the remarkable Louis Brandt to create Omega, and are known around the world for their accuracy and performance.

Speedmaster

The OMEGA Speedmaster was the only chronograph from a group of 12 brands to pass NASA’s strict tests for use in space missions – tests that included exposure to extreme temperatures, vacuums, intense humidity, corrosion, shocks, acceleration, pressure, vibrations and noise.

It was thanks to this astounding feat that the Omega Speedmaster ultimately earned itself the nickname by which it is still known today: The Moon Watch. To this day, the Speedmaster remains the only watch ever to be worn on the Moon and the only watch flight-qualified for extra-vehicular use by NASA. The Omega Speedmaster was also chosen for use in outer space by the Russian space agency NPO Energija.
