The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is also made with a stainless steel bracelet to match the style and elegance of the watch.

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch includes a black dial that has accents of stainless hour markers and hands with luminescent coating. Aside from the time,Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch also has a 30 minute and 12 hour counters for the chronograph. This watch also includes a zest that reminisce the U.S. mission on the moon.

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch itself is very similar to the original. The case size is 42mm in diameter. The crystal is crafted from Hesalite, an acrylic compound – essentially a shatterproof plastic. Although it is not as scratch resistant as Sapphire, being shatterproof is absolutely vital in the confines of a space craft. The movement is still true to its tradition – a manually wound Omega Caliber 1861 movement. Imagine trying to automatically wind a watch where there is no gravity. Stainless steel versions will also be available in a much larger limited edition of 7,969 pieces.
