Omega Speedmaster VS TAG Heuer Monza

When it comes to historical moments associated with watches, nothing matches the Omega Speedmaster, worn by members of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969. Only the Smiths Deluxe and Rolex Explorer come close. Both have a link to the Everest conquest of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. More replica Omega Speedmaster watches.

Trivia buffs have, for years, discussed the minutiae about these watches vis-a-vis the missions. For example, many want to know if there is moon dust on the watches of the Apollo 11 astronauts. There isn't. When Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins returned to earth, their belongings were cleaned and inventoried. If there was any dust, NASA collected it. Another detail being chased, to this day, is whether Hillary's watch was on his person or in his luggage on the Everest summit.

For instance, Armstrong did not wear his watch when he stepped on the moon. According to official records, he had left it in the lunar module because the module's timer was malfunctioning. And so it was Aldrin, who set foot in the "magnificent desolation" nearly 20 minutes after Armstrong, who wore the first watch on the moon.

The fluted bezel on both the brushed stainless steel and rose gold versions gives it a sophistication that you won't find in more contemporary designs. Both versions feature a 41mm case, a leather strap, and cursive writing indicating each month along the outer edge. A fourth hand jumps to the section indicating each month of the year, and a window at six o'clock makes sure you'll always know the date.

The stainless steel version carries its deep blue strap into the details on the face, while the rose gold version's dark gray face makes for a dial that's easy to read. But they both represent a marriage of timeless design and contemporary convenience that's hard to beat.
