    OMEGA Speedmaster: 54th Anniversary of the first moon landing

    On the 54th anniversary of the first moon landing in history, OMEGA pays tribute to former astronaut, engineer and Air Force pilot Buzz Aldrin and all those who glimpsed a possibility in the night sky.

     

    The famous feat that made the Omega Speedmaster iconic was during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, when astronaut Buzz Aldrin wore his Speedmaster Professional as he stepped onto the surface of the moon. Since then, the Speedmaster has been known as the "Moonwatch", and remains the only watch to have been worn on the lunar surface.

    On 21 July 1969, General Buzz Aldrin walked on the lunar surface, marking a milestone in human history. His lifelong dream now lay beneath his feet, paving the way for a new era of discovery. On his wrist, the astronaut wore an OMEGA Speedmaster Professional, which at the time became the first watch worn on the moon. In this 54th anniversary commemoration, we honour not only Buzz, but also all those who saw a possibility in the starry sky.
