Even when youre not into watches, or into Speedmasters, it is nearly impossible that you have not been confronted with a gold coloured astronaut, a picture of the gold Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th anniversary or an advertisement of the Moonwatch.What did you expect? Omega has been keen on their role as the official supplier of chronographs to the NASA astronauts since 1965. The 25th anniversary was already celebrated with a special engraved steel Moonwatch (2500? pieces), a white gold Speedmaster Professional (limited to 500 pieces), a very limited run of 50 pieces in platinum and a special run of the steel Speedmaster Professional watch with a display back for the Italian market (999 pieces). This year, Omega is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing and Moonwatch. Not only with two amazingly well-designed watches, the Apollo XI in stainless steel (here) and the one in gold (here), but also with a series of events all over the world. This series started with a huge event in Cape Canaveral early May, but also the local markets have been hosting these 50th-anniversary events.
