To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Speedmaster Professional series, Omega launched an exceptional series of 23 watches, limited to only 40 sets, in tribute to the space missions of the three NASA programs: Gemini, Apollo and Skylab. This fascinating space-inspired set will surely trigger the collecting instincts in our Omega lovers, and create much exhilaration on earth.

The present Speedmaster Missions Collection is numbered 27, and it includes 22 Missions wristwatches, each containing the colourful official patches of NASA’s space missions at 9 o’clock, in addition to a reproduction of the first Speedmaster, reference CK 2915 of 1957.

The wristwatches are further complemented with a plastic encased Omega caliber 1861 movement and a loupe. They are contained in a beautifully crafted white Omega valise made of the same fabric used for space suits. The case back of each watch is inscribed "Flight-Qualified By NASA For All, Manned Space Missions, The First Watch Worn On The Moon", the name of the specific mission and numbered 27/40.

Preserved in “like-new” condition, and accompanied with complete set of original accessories, the present lot offers a fantastic opportunity for watch and space enthusiasts to obtain precious mementos which chronicle the most important spacefaring missions in the history of mankind.
