Why We Love it

3… 2… 1… Liftoff!

Take a poll amongst wrist watch collectors, and we'd bet the consensus would be that there is nothing more important or iconic in a watch collection than an Omega Speedmaster. 

Sure, chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona or the Heuer Carrera are classics - icons even - but neither can match the stature of the Speedy with regards to importance in history. Arguably no watch can.

This particular piece, however, is more than just your average Speedmaster Professional... Known to collectors as ‘Ultraman’ models for their distinctive Japanese-market orange chronograph seconds hand, few genuine examples have surfaced.

The example that we have is quite simply amongst the cleanest we've ever seen - of any Speedmaster - from the period. This piece dates to circa 1969 and features the best elements of the time period, including a 41mm stainless steel twisted-lug case, an Omega-signed Hesalite crystal, a signed crown, a black “dot over 90” bezel insert, and beautifully patinated matte black Tritium dial with an applied logo and a matching, exotic ‘Ultraman’ handset. Powered by the iconic, hand-wound Omega Calibre .321 movement, it’s paired to an incredible stainless steel flat-link expanding bracelet with a signed blade clasp.

In simply outstanding condition throughout, this is a museum-grade Speedy that’ll make any Omega collector salivate.

Don’t pass up this opportunity to own a piece of both horological and pop culture history!

Brand Story

+
The story of Omega is one that captivates generations of horological devotees. The second-largest watchmaker in the world in terms of annual turnover, the Bienne-based firm has been continuously producing watches since 1848, which it does today under the auspices of the Swatch Group.

Founded in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland as La Generale Watch Co, Omega was well ahead of the horological curve from the beginning, developing the first minute-repeating wristwatch in 1892 as well as the eponymous “Omega” caliber in 1894. This 19-ligne movement was revolutionary in that its parts could be replaced by any watchmaker in the world without modification, while its winding and time-setting via the crown provided an industry standard.

Omega became the timepiece supplier of choice for the British Royal Flying Corps in 1917, while the Americans followed suit in 1918, choosing their watches for the U.S. Army. Awards for precision chronometry became almost commonplace, while 1932 saw them become the first watch brand to time an entire Olympic Games. Their Marine, which debuted the same year, is regarded as the first commercially available diver’s watch.

During the Second World War, Omega supplied well over 100,000 timepieces to British forces, making it the largest watch supplier to the British and her allies. These watches, from the unique 6B/159 to the famed “Dirty Dozen” W.W.W, remain highly collectible today.

1948 saw the launch of the original Seamaster: Built upon the tool watch legacy of the brand’s timepieces from the War, it’s since become a byword for reliability and legibility, both as a dress watch and, more recently, as a serious diver’s tool. The Speedmaster, released in 1957 and originally marketed for the auto-racing market, first rocketed to space on the wrist of American astronaut Wally Schirra in 1962. However, it became a household name when, in 1969, it accompanied Buzz Aldrin on the Moon, and later helped save the space-stranded crew of Apollo 13 in 1970 by timing a critical rocket burn.

Today, Omega’s watches — all of which feature in-house movements — run the gamut from svelte dress pieces to the venerable Speedmaster in all its guises. Providing an unquestionable value proposition, Omega is a brand that deserves to be at the center of every serious watch lover’s collection.
