The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Limited Edition wristwatch commemorates the first lunar landing and celebrates its link to the iconic chronograph that was part of the adventure. This timepiece has been produced in an edition limited to 1,969 pieces. It is fitted with the calibre 1861, a manual-winding chronograph movement.
The black PVD dial has been produced using a special laser which creates the design elements on the watch’s face by removing the material surrounding the name, sub-dial numerals and hour markers. It is enhanced with 18K OMEGA Sedna™ gold hands and indexes and a matching bezel. Another striking feature of this timepiece is its brown coated nylon fabric strap which is inspired by the NATO straps that have equipped the timepieces issued to military personnel since the end of the 1950s.
Available in stores in June 2014.
