Omega Moon Watch is the watch in the world certified for space flight at NASA. The process has been shown to obtain this certification is a lengthy process, which eventually led to the iconic status it carries today. As the first piece to ever be taken in space, the Omega Speedmaster Professional in history on the wrist of Wally Schirra aboard Mercury-Atlas 8 (Sigma 7) October 3, 1962.

The Omega Speedmaster Professional was selected by NASA from a pool of four other brands, which included Rolex, Breitling, Bulova, Longines and Huer. NASA had not developed specific parameters for the play time, they would eventually use in space, nor did they request any manufacturer to submit prototypes. With a table of limited time, they decided to buy chronograph models 5 brands of standard retail and conduct rigorous testing to analyze their resistance to different stressors.

The pieceses 5 times have been exposed to extreme tests to check their resistance to temperature, vacuum, shock, vibration, humidity, corrosion, noise and pressure. The test was concluded in 1965, after which only 3 watches are still ongoing. The Omega Speedmaster was the only one who has not suffered from the severe deterioration that has hit the other 2.

The Omega Moon Time Piece is the only timekeeping instrument that has never been worn on the moon. To take into account the conditions of weightlessness, OMEGA modified traffic functionality entirely mechanical. They feared the move could be compromised machine to zero gravity of the circumstances, that the pendulum in motion would not be able to move without gravity exerted on it. In addition to the movement, the crystal has also been amended to Hessalite material to withstand extreme pressures.

The initial velocity Master first step in space has never been taken into account. After his return to earth, he was lost in unknown circumstances. Today, all the instruments of the NASA time-keeping taken into space by astronauts are owned by NASA, and should be returned to NASA after the space mission has concluded. Watches Omega Speedmaster Moon is a standard use for all missions of the Russian Space Agency, and all NASA missions.

Recently, Omega released a limited edition anniversary, which contains the same movement used in the Gemini space origin 3. Spedial edition comes with a kit that contains a variety of maintenance tools, and a very popular design. According to NASA's standards or the standards mode, the Omega Speed Master Professional Moon is an incredible piece of time to own!
