The Latest and Greatest Speedmaster

OMEGA boasts many legendary masterpieces. However, the most widely known is undoubtedly the "Moonwatch" Speedmaster. It debuted in 1957, four years before the Apollo program was conceived.

Initially equipped with the then-new three-hand chronograph movement, Calibre 321, housed in a Seamaster 300 case, this model has continuously evolved, pursuing the highest performance from its inception.

This model, released this year as the latest chapter in that legend, is equipped with the Co-Axial Calibre 9300/9301. Its sub-dial display has also evolved, featuring a two-hand system for hours and minutes, similar to the time display, unlike the "Moonwatch."

However, respect for the original manual-wind model is faithfully carried over in details such as the broad arrow hands and the shape of the lugs. Furthermore, in addition to stainless steel, lightweight titanium and red gold cases, as well as bi-color options, are available, representing another evolution.

Much like cars, it's a fact that for watches too, "the latest model is the best." This is a timepiece recommended for those who desire the "latest and greatest Speedmaster."
