18 January 2010 – No watch is more closely identified with OMEGA’s pioneering spirit than the Speedmaster.

The legendary chronograph has a long list of adventures to its credit, including every one of NASA’s piloted missions since May of 1963. When Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface in 1969 wearing his OMEGA Speedmaster Professional, the watch achieved true iconic status.

In 2010 OMEGA is introducing a selection of 38 mm Speedmaster Ladies’ wristwatches. The first of the new releases combines the robust sportiness and chronograph performance which have long characterized the line with some touches of elegance not normally associated with the rugged Speedmasters.

Like the Speedmaster Professional, this member of the famous family has a stainless steel case but it has been dressed up with an 18 Ct pink gold bezel ring paved with 54 diamonds.

The COSC-certified chronometer is presented on a specially-treated grey alligator leather strap. The watch is powered by the OMEGA calibre 3304, a self-winding mechanical movement.

In addition to its full chronograph function, it has a date window at 6 ‘clock.

Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye.
