Omega Speedmaster Professional 3590.50 (1993)

In 1957, the Omega Speedmaster was introduced. This model was used as a tool watch in various racing environments. The Speedmaster features a chronograph function. It gained fame for being the first watch worn on the moon by NASA astronauts. NASA sought a durable timepiece for the astronauts, and Omega successfully withstood all the rigorous tests conducted between 1964 and 1965. Omega received official certification from NASA, and the entire Apollo 11 crew wore a Speedmaster. Since then, the Speedmaster Professional has become Omega's most renowned watch.

Omega

La Generale Watch Co., the parent company of Omega, was founded in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland, by 23-year-old Louis Brandt, who was involved in watch assembly. In 1866, Louis Brandt passed away, and the company was continued by his two sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar, who decided to centralize assembly in one location. The brothers made significant advancements, and in 1894, they introduced a new caliber to the market: the renowned 19-ligne caliber. The caliber was so accurate and successful that the brothers decided to change their company name to "Omega Watch Co." in 1903. Since 1998, Omega has been owned by the Swatch Group under the name Omega SA.
