In the past half a century and more, the Omega Speedmaster professional had been the wrist watch of choice for a lot of people. This could be credited to numerous reasons, some of which could be the high water-resistant score, or perhaps the stainless steel casing, or the Hesalite, that’s the shatterproof crystal, or maybe because it is an Omega watch? But best of all, it can be since it was the 1st ever approved watch by National Aeronautics and Space Administration also known as NASA.
Perhaps you now are convinced precisely why the Speedmaster is the choice for a lot of folks. Having a lunar heritage, the Speedmaster is composed of a stainless steel casing, with white numeric symbols on a black face. It really is the kind of fake watch which can be trendy with a tailored black tie suit, or a casual gear, but don’t forget the space suit. Incidentally, as a special treat from its 40th Anniversary, "7,969" pieces of limited edition commemorative version of the Omega watch were released. One particular attribute was the seconds-counter subdial featuring a variation of Apollo 11′s "Eagle" mission patch; together with this design are the words "The first watch worn on the Moon.” which was stamped on the caseback. This is such a fantastic sight for collectors.
The Omega watch also obtained recognition from the late United States of America President John F. Kennedy. Presently, an inexpensive quartz watch will usually tell a better time than anything that has springs and cogs inside, however it’s not the point. The reason being mechanical watches are a symbol of Man’s ambition to build miniature machines that will do incredible things. As quoted from President Kennedy: "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade, and do the other things, not because they are easy but because they are hard, because that goal will serve… to measure the best of our energies and skills." Those words are truly considered fitting for the mens Omega watches.
