Discover the Reimagined First OMEGA in Space
A TRIBUTE TO THE FIRST OMEGA WORN IN SPACEOn October 3rd, 1962, the Speedmaster CK 2998 became the first OMEGA worn in space, when the astronaut Walter Schirra wore his personal model on the Sigma 7 mission of the Mercury programme. This updated version is a tribute to that pioneering timepiece and captures the same 2nd generation Speedmaster style in modern form. |
