  • Catalogue Essay

    The present platinum skeletonized Speedmaster Broad Arrow was made in 2009 and produced in a limited number of 21 timepieces. It is a celebration of the iconic Speedmaster’s legend and its continuation in the 21st century. The chronometer movement is highly engraved and visible through the crystals with subsidiary registers for hours, minutes and seconds. The dial is enhanced with the famed “Broad Arrow” hands in 18 white gold first seen on the original model, reference 2915.

    A true icon among many, The Speedmaster is a classic timepiece and Omega’s limited edition examples honor the long and historic past of the reference.

  • Artist Biography

    Omega

    Swiss • 1848

    Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.

    Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
