**The end result of 150 years of prestigious Swiss watchmaking history.**
Omega has built its name in rarified air — a place between style and utility, where constant innovation, iconic design and supreme capability have made “Speedmaster” and “Seamaster” revered names in watchmaking. Omega is also the only company that we know of that makes watches officially certified for the heights of space, as well as ocean depths up to 600 crushing meters.
The Speedmaster is the world’s only watch certified for NASA space missions, coming especially in handy during 1970’s aborted Apollo 13 mission when it was used to precisely time thruster intervals to bring the stricken lunar module housing three astronauts safely home. Nowadays, little has changed with the iconic “Speedy,” though it enjoys subtle upgrades to the bracelet and movement.
