Omega Speedmaster has the reputation of “moon watch”. On July 21, 1969, the Omega Speedmaster watch followed the American astronaut Armstrong on the moon, and the Supermaster watch became the first watch to land on the moon. But what you may not know is that Omega's first landing on the moon is purely accidental. More replica Omega Speedmaster.
NASA refers to the entire test as the “qualification test procedure”: it includes manual winding timing accuracy test, whether the case, the mirror, the dial, the strap and the timing function button are damaged, and whether there is moisture inside the mirror. And whether the watch is working properly under extreme temperature, vacuum, high humidity, corrosion, impact, acceleration, pressure, vibration and noise. In total, this is a rather rigorous test.
The same is true. On March 1, 1965, the test results were released. It is said that among the many watches that participated in the test, only the super-big names such as Rolex Daytona, Omega Speedmaster, Longines 13ZN (yes, the Longines is a watch brand that can compete with Rolex) can be normal. Running. However, the Rolex watch had two failures before and after the relative humidity test, and was eventually eliminated in the heat resistance test. The large second hand is bent and entangled with other hands. The Longines crystal case is deformed and detached from the case during the heat resistance test. The other Longines watch showed the same unfortunate situation in the low-voltage test. In the end, only the Omega Speedmaster watch passed all tests. Only the face of the disk faded, and in the low-voltage test, it took 21 minutes to go, and the accelerated test went slower for 15 minutes.
The professionalism of Omega Speedmaster is well known in space, but perhaps many people are not aware of an anecdote in the Supermaster and Polar Adventures. On April 19, 1968, after 44 days of hard work of 1,320 kilometers, the four-person team of American explorer Ralph Plaisted reached the North Pole. This is the first time humans have actually set foot on this pole. It is said that in this expedition, Ralph Plaisted has been wearing ST145.012, and it is proofread by radio every day. In the polar region with a temperature as low as -52 °C, the daily error never exceeds one second!
