The OMEGA Speedmaster is one of OMEGA’s most iconic timepieces. Having been a part of all six lunar missions, the legendary Speedmaster is an impressive representation of the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit.
This model features a black dial with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a date scale. A small seconds counter shares a sub-dial with a 24-hour hand; the 30-minute recorder at 12 o'clock also has windows for the day of the week and the month; and the 12-hour recorder completes the dial. There are central hour, minute and chronograph seconds hands along with a central date indicator.
The black bezel, with its tachymetric scale, is mounted on a 40 mm stainless steel case and presented on a stainless steel bracelet. At the heart of this timepiece is OMEGA’s mechanical calibre 3606, a chronograph movement.
Chronograph
The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A chronograph watch can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch.
Chronometer
Label given to a watch which has undergone precision tests and received a certificate from an official body (COSC).
Day-Date
Apertures which display both the day of the month (numerical) and the day of the week.
Small seconds
A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute.
Tachymeter
A tachymeter watch has a function for measuring speed. It is a chronograph with a graduated dial on which speed can be read in kilometres per hour based on a 1000 metre distance.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is certainly the most conventional of watchmaking materials for outer craftsmanship, and offers beauty, strength and affordability. OMEGA uses 316L stainless steel. Known for its corrosion-resistance and high lustre after polishing, this material is often the ideal choice for watches in both daily-use and high-stress situations such as diving and adventure.

Sapphire Crystal
To really appreciate the finer details of a timepiece, OMEGA uses synthetic sapphire crystal with a highly scratch-resistant and anti-reflective treatment. Before the machining and finishing processes take place, the sapphire crystals are produced under the Verneuil process, also called flame fusion. It involves the melting of the raw substance using oxyhydrogen flame and the crystallisation of the melted droplets to form a cylinder. Graded 9 on the Mohs-hardness scale (graded 1-10), the resulting sapphire crystals are virtually scratch-proof and very hard, ensuring an unhindered vision at all times.
