While Omega named this watch the 'First Omega in Space', it notably lacks any mention of the 'Moonwatch' on its case. This is because it pays homage to the CK2998, which was worn on Walter Schirra's wrist during the Mercury Program. Unlike the later Moonwatch, it lacks crownguards, making the pushers and crown a more prominent feature on the case. Moreover, it's sized at 39.7mm like the original, unlike the Moonwatch's 42mm case. Finally, the dial features the eye-catching 'Alpha' hands. These features combine to create a Speedmaster that's subtly different from the Moonwatch, while being an excellent design in itself.

OMEGA

Omega is in the unique position of being perhaps the most versatile out of all the watchmakers currently still in operation. Its product lineup includes dive watches, automatic and manual chronographs, as well haute joaillerie works of art. The brand has even demonstrated its high-end watchmaking capabilities by creating complications such as the tourbillon.

Omega's story goes further than just its watches, however. The brand has had a long and rich history of being called upon in times of need, and has sold watches to everyone from the British Royal Flying Corps during the First World War to NASA during the Space Race. More recently, Omega has been known as the exclusive supplier of watches to James Bond.
