2019 marked the golden anniversary of the Moon Landings and Omega celebrated the occasion with a brand new Speedmaster.Tthe new Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition follows the design of the famous Speedmaster BA145.022 that Omega created in 1969 in tribute to the moon landing heroes.

Remaining true to the historical piece of 1969, Omega included a burgundy bezel ring – but this time in ceramic [ZrO2] with its tachymeter scale in Ceragold. Following the first generation of the Speedmaster tachymeter scale, which graduated to 500 units per hour, this new model featured a marker dot above 90 (also known as “Dot Over 90” or “DON”).

The vertically brushed step dial is marked “Au750” for the use of solid gold and is enhanced by the facetted black onyx indexes set in the polished hour-markers, as well as the hour-minute hands filled with black varnish and the black varnished central chronograph seconds and subdial hands.
