With an intrinsic and unbreakable bond with Space, the Omega Speedmaster Professional garnered much attention and became a global sensation when it became the very first wristwatch to be worn on the moon by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969. Since then, the Omega Speedmaster Professional became an icon and continued to thrive, launching various models and editions to commemorate their participation in the research and development of missions in space.

In 2005, Omega launched the Speedmaster Professional “Gemini 4 First Space Walk 40th Anniversary” ref. 3565.80.00 limited edition of 2,005 pieces. Made to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the first spacewalk executed by astronaut McDivitt White, the caseback features a vibrantly embossed plaque to celebrate the successful event taken place in 1965.

Preserved in excellent overall condition, the present example numbered 1,905 is further charmed by the full set of accessories. Distinctive due to its blue bezel paired harmoniously along with a matching blue dial with red inscribed commemoration dates on the dial, it is certainly a vibrant iteration of the coveted Speedmaster.
