In the 1960s, a series of extreme tests led the Speedmaster to become the only wristwatch chosen for manned space missions. On July 21, 1969, with the Apollo 11 mission, the Speedmaster achieved its consecration: the one worn by Buzz Aldrin became the first watch to accompany man on the moon, forever cementing its reputation as the "Moonwatch." Since then, the Speedmaster has assumed an almost mythical status: no longer just a chronograph, but a symbol of adventure, exploration, technical precision, and human daring. Over the decades, it has evolved, yet has retained the aesthetic and functional codes that make it instantly recognizable. Today, the Speedmaster is not only an Omega icon but also a synonym for history, beloved by collectors in its historical, commemorative, and modern versions, which continue to excite thanks to their profound connection to one of the most incredible human endeavors of all time.
