3… 2… 1… Liftoff!
Take a poll amongst wristwatch collectors, and we'd bet the consensus would be that there might be nothing more important or iconic in a watch collection than an Omega Speedmaster.
Sure, chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona or the Heuer Carrera are classics — icons even, but neither can match the stature of the Speedy with regards to importance in history. In fact, arguably no watch can.
The Omega Speedmaster collection is rife with fantastic reissues, homages, and avant-garde contemporary executions - but they don't always meet in the middle with success. This piece, however, very much does!
Featuring Omega's acclaimed Master Co-Axial automatic chronograph movement with an addend moonphase complication, this piece features a 44.5mm twisted-lug case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a matte black exotic 'racing' dial with a matching handset. It comes paired to an excellent perforated black rallye-style leather strap with a signed steel deployant clasp.
We love a good modern watch with a nod to heritage executed tastefully, and there's just something about a Speedmaster with a moonphase that works.
This one is no exception.
