Co-Axial Chronograph Moonwatch Speedmaster

Product Overview

The Co-Axial Chronograph Moonwatch Speedmaster is a precision-engineered timepiece that pays tribute to one of the most iconic moments in space exploration history. Designed for collectors, watch enthusiasts, and those who appreciate horological excellence, this watch blends heritage with advanced craftsmanship. At its core lies the legendary Omega Speedmaster legacy—the first watch worn on the moon—now enhanced with modern complications and refined aesthetics. This model stands out with its detailed lunar phase display, combining technical accuracy with visual storytelling. It’s built for those who value both historical significance and everyday precision in a luxury timepiece.

Key Features

• Realistic Moonphase Display: The watch features a high-resolution moon image at the 6 o’clock position, meticulously detailed to include Neil Armstrong’s historic footprint—a direct nod to the Apollo 11 mission. This isn’t just a decorative element; it’s a functional moonphase complication that tracks the lunar cycle with remarkable accuracy.
• Premium Two-Tone Construction: The 42.5 mm case combines brushed stainless steel with 18K Sedna gold, offering a luxurious contrast that enhances durability and visual depth. Sedna gold, developed by Omega, is known for its rich reddish hue and resistance to fading over time.
• Brown Ceramic Dial and Bezel: The deep brown ceramic dial provides a sleek, modern backdrop for the diamond-polished 18K Sedna gold hands and hour markers. The matching brown ceramic bezel ring features a Ceragold tachymeter scale, allowing for precise measurement of speed based on time and distance—ideal for motorsport or aviation use.
• Brown Leather Strap with Foldover Clasp: The rich brown leather strap complements the warm tones of the Sedna gold and ceramic elements, secured with a polished foldover clasp for comfort and security during wear.
• Caliber 9904 Movement: At the heart of the watch is Omega’s in-house Co-Axial caliber 9904, a self-winding chronograph movement with a column-wheel mechanism and vertical clutch for smooth pusher action. It delivers exceptional precision, a 60-hour power reserve, and is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss.
