On the 21st of July 1696 at 2:56 GMT, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped off the Eagle and made history to be the first humans to ever set foot on the moon. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this remarkable moment of mankind, Omega launched the present limited edition Speedmaster in 2019. With a stainless steel case powered by the Calibre 3861, this edition of the moon watch features the first use of the brand’s new patent-pending exclusive alloy, the 18K Moonshine Gold. Giving the watch quite an impression with a gold bezel contrasted against the matte grey and black dial, one can discover captivating details throughout the face of the timepiece. Laser engraved on the subdial at 9 o’clock is one of the most iconic imagery shot by Neil Armstrong as Buzz Aldrin descends the ladder of the Lunar Excursion Module, slightly above is another subtle yet clever tribute to the mission presented with a unique hour marker at 11 o’clock.
