Omega Speedmaster "Moonwatch" ref. 3570.50
Are you looking for a watch that can stand up to an active lifestyle, and still look good and keep great time over the period of many years?
This is the watch for you.
Its specs:
- Stainless steel case and bracelet.
- Legendary Speedmaster bracelet with push-button release.
- Caliber 1861 manual wind movement; rhodium plated for corrosion resistance; 48-hour power reserve.
- Hesalite crystal (a type of plastic similar to Plexiglass — very shock resistant).
- Water resistant to 50 meters, or 167 feet.
- Chronograph function (with “small seconds” at the 9 o’clock position), and tachymeter.
- 42mm case diameter.
Its combination of simplicity, build quality, and well chosen materials that make it one of the most robust and interesting watches currently on the market
But what about its story?
When the first model of Speedmaster was introduced in 1957, Omega had no intention of sending it into space, but the combination of the chronograph and the fact that it is a manual-wind watch made it a great choice during some of the Mercury missions.
Astronauts needed a manual-wind watch since automatic (or “self-winding”) watches rely on a weighted rotor which doesn’t work well in zero gravity, and they needed a highly accurate chronograph for timing rocket firing sequences. During the Gemini and Apollo programs having the right watch became far more important.
In 1962, NASA began searching for a more official piece of timing equipment to be worn by Gemini and Apollo astronauts: the Omega Speedmaster Professional was the only one to pass all of NASA’s tests.
