On 21 July, 1969, when the astronauts of the fateful Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon, they were equipped with the now-famous Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, making it the first watch ever to be worn on the moon. Five decades on, in celebration of the lunar landing’s 50th anniversary, the renowned Swiss watchmaker has unveiled the latest iteration of this historic haute horological treasure – the Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum.

Here the original Calibre 321 movement – used not only by the Apollo 11 astronauts, but also used by Ed White during the first American spacewalk in 1965 – has been painstakingly resurrected in-line with its original specifications. The refurbished mechanism, which is housed in a 44mm platinum alloy case, can be admired through its sapphire crystal caseback.

Fitted on fetching black leather straps, the Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum’s case has been inspired by the asymmetrical design that once graced the fourth generation of this iconic timepiece. What’s more its black ceramic bezel features the model’s iconic tachymetre scale in a delicate white enamel.

Finally, as an apt tribute to the watch’s lunar heritage, the subdials have been especially crafted from real moon meteorite components, making the Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum truly an out-of-this-world chronogram.&nbsp;

On 50th anniversary of moon landing, Omega unveils new Speedmaster Moonwatch

After nabbing six Academy Awards for La La Land, director Damien Chazelle and actor Ryan Gosling have teamed up once again, this time tackling the real-life tale of Neil Armstrong and NASA&#8217;s historic Apollo 11 space flight, the first manned mission to the moon, in First Man. The riveting film, which hit Hong Kong theatres last Thursday, also features the first-ever watch worn to the moon – the Omega Speedmaster.

Back in 1964, NASA put several top-tier timepieces through a series of harrowing tests to in the hopes of finding a worthy watch for its astronauts. Of the lot, only the Omega Speedmaster survived, establishing it as the official timepiece for all manned-missions and kickstarting a decades-long partnership with the Swiss watchmaker that has lasted to this very day.

Since then, Omega has supplied watches for all NASA&#8217;s Human Space Flight Program projects, including the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz missions and currently outfits the International Space Station. For First Man, Omega supplied several period-accurate watches the Omega Speedmaster ST 105.012, the famous Moonwatch worn by Apollo 11 astronauts during the historic lunar landing.
