The Moon Mars Watch – Omega

Most of you are already aware that the Omega Speedmaster is known as the “Moon Watch” – as it was called for being the first watch on the Moon. But fewer of you may be aware that Omega has already created a watch called “From the Moon to Mars” – Yes, that is absolutely true. In 2004, Jewelers Circular Keystone reported that Omega presented Eugene Cernan (Commander of Apollo 17) with a special edition “Moon to Mars” Chronograph. It was presented by the late Nicolas Hayek (then CEO of Swatch) – Cernan was still wearing the Speedmaster he wore on the moon at the time. You can orbit the moon and or Mars with your own Omega replica watch.

The first would be the WB “Omega Speedmaster Moon to Mars Mens Limited Edition Watch“. And, as one might expect, the three sub-dials are occupied by full images of Earth, the Moon and Mars. The Moon and Mars sub-dials give 60 second and 30 minute timers. But, the function of the Earth timer sub-dial is a little vague as it has no markings! The full face dial is black and matches the tachometer of the bezel. Scaling on the tachometer is very precise so as to give accurate readings. As expected, Omega and Speedmaster Professional are accurately marked on the watch face. “From the Moon to Mars” mission phrase is engraved on the back of the case.

One might expect the replica Moonwatch next – well not quite – the newest version is possibly more interesting to the watch geek. This is the replica SWW “Omega Speedmaster Professional Alaska Project” watches. This watch, like the original, is encircled by a life preserver of red anodized metal. The red anodized metal was originally designed and developed to withstand the most extreme high and low temperatures. You will flush red with excitement when you see this Omega replica watches.
