A pre-owned Limited Edition Full Set collector’s piece, Available at Mostra Aix-en-Provence

The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 15 40th Anniversary chronograph watch is a limited edition of 1,971 pieces, paying tribute to NASA’s 1971 Apollo 15 mission. A true collector’s item, this mechanical watch features a black Professional Moonwatch dial, enhanced by three sub-registers in the colors of the American flag and an exclusive engraving of the lunar rover on the 42 mm screw-down caseback. The particularly successful dial presents a colored minute track, framed by a fixed B5 tachymeter bezel in steel. Water-resistant to 5 ATM, this Speedmaster is powered by the Omega Calibre 1861 Rhodium with 18 jewels, a high-precision hand-wound movement beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour.

This iconic chronograph, originally designed for aviation and motorsport enthusiasts, is a genuine horological work of art, embodying both the heritage of space exploration and the spirit of Pop Art. Its Luminova Moonwatch type C6 dial and C3 baton hands with luminescent coating ensure optimal legibility in all conditions. Omega’s Speedmaster watches hold an emblematic place in the history of space exploration. In the 1960s, NASA sought a reliable, robust watch to accompany its astronauts on missions. After a series of rigorous tests evaluating resistance to shocks, temperature variations, vibrations, and exposure to the vacuum of space, Omega’s Speedmaster Professional was the only watch to meet all the requirements of the American space agency. In 1965, it was officially certified as flight equipment for manned space missions.

The Speedmaster thus became the reference watch for astronauts and was used during the Gemini program and, above all, the Apollo program. Its moment of glory came in 1969, when it accompanied Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface, becoming the first watch worn on the Moon. This historic event earned it the nickname “Moonwatch,” reinforcing its legendary status. The Speedmaster’s reliability was highlighted even further during the Apollo 13 mission in 1970, when the astronauts had to use their watch to precisely time a critical course-correction maneuver after a major spacecraft failure. Thanks to its chronograph, the Speedmaster played an essential role in bringing the crew safely back to Earth.

Since these landmark events, the Speedmaster has remained an emblematic watch in the world of space exploration. It is still used by astronauts, notably on missions aboard the International Space Station. Its timeless design and exceptional performance have made it a sought-after collector’s piece and a symbol of precision and robustness. A true icon of watchmaking, the Speedmaster continues to testify to the unbreakable bond between Omega and the conquest of space, proving that some legends never age.
