About OMEGA
OMEGA SA is a watch company based in Biel/Bienne Switzerland & is one of the more prestigious brands in timepieces. It is one of the most prestigious brands of the Swatch Group.
The selection of the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Chronograph as the official watch worn by American astronauts was the subject of a famous space-race era rivalry between OMEGA & Bulova.
All subsequent manned NASA missions also utilized this hand wound movement wristwatch. NASA started selecting the chronograph in the early 60's & automatic chronograph wristwatches were not available until 1969.
However all the instrument panel clocks & time-keeping mechanisms in the spacecraft on those space missions were Bulova Accutrons with tuning fork movements, because at the time, NASA did not know how well a mechanical movement would work in zero gravity conditions.
OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch on the Moon worn on the wrists of Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. Unfortunately this historically notable watch is now considered lost. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin mentions in his book "Return to Earth" that when donating several items to the Smithsonian Institution, his OMEGA was one of the few things that was stolen from his personal effects.
