The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Limited Edition, On 45th Anniversary Of The First Moon Landing It was on July 21th, 1969 that the Apollo 11 mission reached it goal and put two men on the surface of the moon. “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” These words from Neil Armstrong still resonate in the heart of everyone on earth, even 45 years after the Apollo 11 team landed on the Moon. Of course, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had tons of the best equipment with them but the one that clearly appeals most to us is the small, rudimentary, basic, old-fashioned mechanical Omega Speedmaster strapped onto each of their wrists. Omega can be proud of this history. Although Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong was first to set foot on the moon, he left his 105.012 Speedmaster inside the Lunar Module as a backup but Buzz Aldrin elected to wear his and so his Speedmaster became the first watch to be worn on the moon. To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the first moon landing, Omega has released the Speedmaster Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Limited Edition, a titanium and Sedna gold Speedmaster with a classic movement and a unique dial. Importantly, the Speedmaster 45th Anniversary retains many of the key design features found on the watches actually worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts. The Speedmaster Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Limited Edition is limited to 1969 individually numbered pieces and is priced at $7,700.
