dates back to 1957 when it was introduced as a sports and racing chronograph, complementing Omega's position as official timekeeper for the Olympic Games.
The name "Speedmaster" was chosen because of the bezel with tachymeter scale and according to the Omega convention used for other models such as the Seamaster - initially the Speedmaster was part of the Seamaster line - and the Railmaster.
But it was with the first manned space missions and especially the 1969 moon landing that the Speedmaster became so popular worldwide and was nicknamed the "Moonwatch".
From the first Speedmaster model with reference CK 2915 - also known as the "Broad Arrow" - to the current references, we follow the path of the watch that became the paradigm of the modern sports chronograph.
