We would remind you in a few words the famous epic of the first Speedmaster watches:
In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph is approved by NASA for all manned space missions, and took his first steps into space aboard the Gemini 3 mission. The long-awaited miracle occurs and during the Apollo 11 mission.
This unique achievement will be followed by other space missions during which astronauts were equipped with a watch Omega Speedmaster. In total, six Apollo missions were raised on the moon, and the last was the Apollo 17 mission.
The special edition of Omega Speedmaster Apollo 17:
Edited copies in 1972 in honor of the date of the Apollo 17 mission, watch Omega Speedmaster Apollo 17 is probably one of the most special collection.
Exit the typical dial Speedmaster model, it has nothing to do: it is the reproduction of the insignia of the mission, which represents man, the future, the flag and modern heritage.
The bust of Apollo is the program itself, but also characterizes the man throughout his life: his intelligence, his wisdom and ambition. The eagle, whose wings are the flag of our country, looking straight ahead, the future, symbolized by the spiral galaxy and Saturn, perhaps to tell us once again that the future of the man is also the planets and stars.
It retains this edition tachometer scale engraved inside the mechanical movement with manual winding caliber 1861. Even the Omega logo is otherwise provided on the watch engraved on the sapphire crystal.
