The Omega Speedmaster Professional "Moonwatch" is probably the most iconic of all watches, being the first watch to be worn on the moon by Buzz Aldrin in 1969. The Speedmaster Professional was actually launched in 1957 as a general racing timer but after it was selected by NASA for the Apollo missions in 1965 it took on a different status and after being worn on the Moon it is for always known as the Moonwatch.
Today we have not just one but two of them on the bench!
Join Stian for a full service and repair of these two Moonwatches while we go through the history of the race to the moon and the watches that fought to be chosen as the Apollo program's choice.
As usual we'll have a bit of a banter and we'll discover that maybe the first automatic chronograph wasn't actually any of the ones we thought...
