Men's Omega SpeedMaster watches including accessories, parts and vintage models.
On 1st March 1965, Omega's Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions". Omega Speed Master watches can withstand zero gravity and magnetic fields, extreme shocks, vibrations and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius.
The Omega Speed Master men’s watches are available in various elegant designs like Professional, Moonwatch Co-Axial Chronograph, Moonwatch Split-Seconds Co-Axial Chronograph, Broad Arrow, GMT, Day, Date and so on.
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph Stainless Steel Watch is used by divers and water sport enthusiasts. Special edition watches like Apollo Soyuz, Apollo 11 and Solar Impulse are also well-known designs by Omega.
Over the years, Omega has also improved functional aspects of the basic Speed master Professional. The Speed Master Professional Mk II, with shrouded lugs and a flat, anti-reflective mineral glass crystal, is another popular watch in the Omega Speed Master watch series. In 1970, Omega changed the dial of the original Speed Master Professional from black to white and created a removable anodized aluminum housing to shield the watch from a wider range of temperatures. The tuning fork movement is seen in the Speedsonic line while the digital LCD Speed Master Quartz is another popular watch. The digital-analog Speed Master X-33 was produced in 1998 and was used for space missions by NASA that year.

The Omega Speed Master keeps track of time and makes history
Omega has been redefining modern mechanical watch making since 1848. A special watch, the Hour Vision Blue, has a classic stainless steel case and is equipped with Omega’s Co-Axial caliber 8500, the movement that signaled a revolution in series-produced mechanical watch making.
The most outstanding moment in this watch’s history was 21 July 1969, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface. The Omega Speed Master watch was again selected by NASA in 1978 as its official chronograph for the new Space Shuttle program. In fact, this watch has become one of the most tested watches in the world. The outside of the dial includes a fixed bezel incremented to act as a Tachymeter (to measure miles per hour) in conjunction with the stopwatch function, giving it the name "Speedmaster". This model is worn by many present day astronauts on Shuttle missions too.
