OMEGA Speedmaster Anniversary Series "First OMEGA In Space"
OMEGA Speedmaster Anniversary Series "First OMEGA In Space"
On October 3, 1962, astronaut Walter Schirra wore the OMEGA Speedmaster CK 2998 during the Sigma 7 mission, making it the first OMEGA in space. This modern tribute captures the spirit of that historic model with a 39.70 mm polished and brushed stainless steel case, paired with a brown leather strap. The black aluminium bezel features the iconic tachymeter scale with the “Dot Over Ninety,” while the sapphire crystal, reminiscent of hesalite, reveals a CVD-coated grey-blue dial inspired by 1960s originals. The vintage Super-LumiNova-filled “Alpha” hands and white “Baton” central seconds hand complete the classic look, along with subdials for 30-minute, 12-hour, and small-seconds displays.
The watch is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, a modern evolution of the legendary Calibre 321. Vintage OMEGA logos adorn the dial and crown, while the caseback features the Seahorse medallion and inscriptions commemorating its space heritage. Each timepiece comes in a special presentation box with a “LEGENDARY MOONWATCH” leaflet, celebrating OMEGA’s enduring legacy of space exploration.
