Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch
One of Omega's best-known watches is the Speedmaster Moonwatch, which can look back on an impressive history. The iconic chronograph was designated by NASA as a timepiece for all manned space missions in 1965 and has multiplied in value ever since. During the legendary moon landing of Apollo 11 in 1969, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch was the first watch to be worn on the moon. Since this momentous event, the watch back has been engraved with the words "The First Watch Worn on The Moon".
Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional
The name "Professional" was added to the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch after Ed White's space flight in 1965 with the Speedmaster (Ref. 105.003). Thanks to these extraordinary space experiences, the watches are now among the most famous watch models in the world. So it is hardly surprising that celebrities such as George Clooney and Daniel Craig in particular like to show off their classic watches.
In addition, there is another anecdote outside of space in which the Speedmaster Professional has demonstrated its skills. It accompanied Reinhold Messner on his South Pole expedition in 1989.
Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch price development
Due to its eventful history, it is hardly surprising that a steady increase in price can be observed. Based on statistical data, the value of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch has increased fivefold since 1995. Added to this is the fact that many models are now only available second-hand. At zeitauktion.com, the current price range is between 4,000 euros and almost 16,000 euros. This makes the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch an excellent investment that is sure to increase in value even when used.

The Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon or the Omega Speedmaster White Side of the Moon are further special editions with an attractive design.
