OMEGA Speedmaster Anniversary Series "First OMEGA In Space"
OMEGA Speedmaster Anniversary Series "First OMEGA In Space"
On October 3, 1962, astronaut Walter Schirra made history by wearing his personal OMEGA Speedmaster CK 2998 on the Sigma 7 mission, making it the first OMEGA in space. This modern tribute honours that milestone with a 39.70 mm polished and brushed stainless steel case, a black leather strap, and a black aluminium bezel featuring the iconic “Dot Over Ninety” tachymeter scale. Beneath the sapphire crystal, the CVD-coated grey-blue dial replicates the tone of 1960s CK 2998 models, with vintage Super-LumiNova-filled “Alpha” hands, a white “Baton” central seconds hand, and subdials for 30-minute, 12-hour, and small-seconds counters.
The watch features a vintage OMEGA logo on the dial and crown, with the caseback engraved with “THE FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE” and the Seahorse medallion. Powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, an advanced version of the legendary Calibre 321, it continues OMEGA’s space legacy. Each timepiece comes in a special presentation box with a “LEGENDARY MOONWATCH” leaflet, celebrating its pioneering heritage.
