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.

Technical information about this watch
OMEGA Speedmaster Anniversary Series "First OMEGA In Space"
50M / 5 ATM water resistance
Water resistance indicates a watch's ability to withstand moisture and water. Ratings are measured in metres (M) or atmospheres (ATM). For instance, 30M (3 ATM) is suitable for light splashes, while 100M (10 ATM) and above are ideal for swimming and diving. Regular maintenance helps retain water resistance over time.
OMEGA Calibre 3861 Manually-wound movement
Watch movements are the mechanisms that power timekeeping, coming in automatic, manual, and quartz types. Automatic movements self-wind using wrist motion, manual movements require hand-winding, and quartz movements are battery-powered for precise timekeeping. Each type offers unique benefits, catering to different preferences and lifestyles.
40mm case size
Case size, measured in millimetres (mm), impacts the watch's look and fit. Men's watches typically range from 38mm to 46mm, and women's from 26mm to 36mm. Larger cases make a bold statement, while smaller cases offer a classic look. Choosing the right size ensures comfort and style.
50 hours power reserve
Power reserve is the duration a watch runs on a full wind or charge. Mechanical watches usually offer 40 to 80 hours, with some extending to several days. Quartz watches, powered by batteries, last several years. Knowing the power reserve helps maintain accurate timekeeping.
