This Omega Speedmaster is more than just a watch; it's a link to history. It’s the kind of timepiece that was worn by giants—men like Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. These astronauts trusted the Speedmaster on their wrists as they ventured into the unknown, and this very model, though perhaps not the same one that went to the moon, is cut from the same cloth.

The Moonwatch isn’t just a timepiece; it’s a cultural icon that has graced the wrists of legends across various fields, further solidifying its place in history. Beyond the astronauts who carried it to the lunar surface, this model was also favored by figures like Tom Hanks, who famously portrayed astronaut Jim Lovell in Apollo 13 and developed a deep personal connection to the history of space exploration.

Another enthusiast was George Clooney, whose admiration for the Speedmaster stems from his own childhood dreams of space. Growing up during the height of the Apollo missions, Clooney was captivated by the Omega Speedmaster, a symbol of mankind’s greatest achievement, and has been known to wear one in his day-to-day life as well as on the red carpet.

Then there's the legendary Formula 1 driver, Ayrton Senna, known for his precision on the track and his appreciation for precision on his wrist. While Senna is often associated with Tag Heuer, he also had a strong affinity for the Speedmaster, a watch that matched his relentless pursuit of perfection and his status as one of the greatest drivers of all time.

Casual Weekend Adventure

Embrace the spirit of exploration with a look that’s both rugged and refined. Start with a well-worn leather jacket, preferably in a deep brown or black, that speaks to the watch’s storied history and enduring appeal. A simple, soft grey t-shirt underneath keeps the vibe casual, while a pair of dark indigo jeans offers durability and style. Finish the look with sturdy, leather boots that can take you from city streets to nature trails without missing a beat. The Omega Speedmaster’s black dial and Nato strap perfectly complement this outfit, making it a seamless fit for an adventurous weekend. The watch, with its iconic design and connection to space exploration, adds a touch of timeless sophistication to your rugged ensemble.

Creative Office Day

Bring a touch of creativity to your workday with an outfit that blends professionalism with personality. Opt for a tailored navy blazer over a crisp white dress shirt, leaving the top button undone for a relaxed yet polished look. Pair this with slim-fit chinos in a versatile shade like beige or olive green, adding a bit of color without overpowering the outfit. Complete the ensemble with a pair of clean white sneakers or brown leather loafers, depending on your office’s dress code. The Omega Speedmaster, with its stainless steel case and black dial, adds a sense of heritage and reliability to your day, while the Nato strap injects a bit of casual flair, perfectly suited for a creative environment.

Evening Concert or Night Out

For a night out, whether it’s a concert or a dinner with friends, pair the Speedmaster with an outfit that exudes effortless cool. Start with a black leather biker jacket, a timeless piece that never goes out of style. Underneath, wear a slim-fit black or charcoal grey t-shirt to keep the focus on the jacket and the watch. Black jeans with a slightly distressed look add an edge, while a pair of sleek, black leather boots tie everything together. The Omega Speedmaster’s classic design, with its black dial and steel case, is the perfect accessory for this outfit, adding a subtle yet powerful statement to your evening look. The Nato strap gives it a touch of ruggedness, ensuring you stand out in any crowd.

A wonderful 1974 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Straight Writting Ref. 145.022-69ST, which has the serial number 32'8xx'xxx. We paired it with a beautiful olive green colored nato strap. The dial is a medium S step dial. The hands and dial are the original tritium ones. The case has some signs of wear. There are some small marks on the dial at 7, 8, 9 and 10 o'clock. The second hand lost some color. Overall, the watch is in perfect original condition and was just freshly serviced by our watchmaker. The crown had to be replaced with a new one, but we offer the watch with the old crown as a spare part. The pushers tubes were also replaced, but the pushers could be kept. Overall a great watch to feel a little more like an astronaut.
