The history of the Omega Speedmaster is like a treasure trove for watch enthusiasts. The brand has created a wide range of watches that made a significant contribution to the exploration of space. While we haven't visited the moon for quite some time now, the Speedmaster hasn't lost any of its relevance or appeal. Over the last few years, Omega has done a great job nurturing their legacy in space and introduced us to incredible limited editions highlighting some of the most exciting moments in history. These are Haute Time's favorite Omega Speedmasters from the last couple of years:

2019 is a special year for quite a few brands, as it marks for them important events in their history. For some, it was the launch of an iconic model or important movement, while for others it was an event at which one of their watches became legendary. That makes it that these four brands have something to celebrate:

OMEGA hosted a star-filled tribute at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and the moon landing. George and Amal Clooney, Chiara Ferragni, Douglas Booth, and an impressive line-up of NASA veterans attended the celebratory event.

Fifty years ago the Omega Speedmaster became the very first watch to be worn on the moon when Apollo XI landed, and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the lunar surface. This is the stuff of legends, as it was a defining moment in the history of humankind. To celebrate this major achievement Omega created the BA135.022, the first limited edition of the Speedmaster dedicated to achievement in space exploration. It was a precious watch, crafted from yellow gold, with a yellow gold bracelet, and a distinct burgundy bezel, made from anodised aluminium and powered by caliber 861.
