Omega Speedmaster 145.0052 Jubilee Limited Edition 18k YG
Released in 1957 and based on their earlier chronographs from the 1920s and '30s, the Omega Speedmaster is one of the most iconic chronographs ever. Named after the purpose of the tachymeter along its bezel, the Speedmaster was designed for race car drivers and pilots to time events and make rapid calculations. While these adrenaline-fueled activities might not be for the faint-hearted, they weren't what made the Speedmaster so iconic - that was its use in space and on the Moon. Following a gruelling series of tests with several competing brands, the Speedmaster debuted in space as a piece of NASA standard-issue equipment during the Gemini program of 1965. Today the Speedmaster has many forms, but the Moonwatch is by far the most iconic, with its design standing as the prototypical look of the Speedmaster. A rather luxurious take on the Speedmaster, the ref. 145.0052 that we have here was launched in 1992 and boasts a stunning 18kt yellow gold construction with an anthracite dial and matching bezel insert, both of which include golden inscriptions that match their surrounding construction and give the watch a very cohesive aesthetic throughout.
