It was a Speedmaster 50th Aniversary Limited Series (ref. 311.30.42.30.01.001), also known as Patch, and it’s basically a standard Moonwatch with some slight tweaks done to its dial. These include a gold printed hippocampus at 12 o’clock, and it also has the Omega logo and wording printed in red.
It’s difficult not to chat and read about watches, especially with the increasing use of social media, once you’re caught with the watch bug. It shouldn’t therefore take you much time to figure out why the Speedmaster is such a fascinating and important wristwatch. But I’m not only thinking about its role as a tool during manned flights in space.
