Prononciation et nom
SPEED-mas-ter
Often called the Speedy by collectors.
Pourquoi elle compte
The Speedmaster is where Omega’s performance story becomes cultural shorthand: a tool chronograph that moved from motorsport credentials to NASA qualification and lunar history, then stayed relevant through modern calibrated reissues.

Anecdotes
Bezel-first chronograph
The first-generation Speedmaster used a bezel tachymeter rather than a dial scale, giving the earliest watches their tool-like face.
Still legible
The modern Moonwatch keeps the Speedmaster’s core idea intact: a highly legible chronograph with deep historical continuity.

What makes the first Speedmaster important?
