The Omega Calibre 321 is back

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing of the Apollo 11 mission, Omega unveiled the first new edition of the Speedmaster Moonwatch to feature the legendary 321 calibre.

Known for its beautifully intricate design, the original Calibre 321 was the first movement ever used in the Speedmaster in 1957. Most famously, it was used in a variety of space-bound models including the Speedmaster ST 105.003 (the model tested and qualified by NASA and worn by astronaut Ed White during the first American spacewalk) and the Speedmaster ST 105.012 (the first watch worn on the moon on the July 21st). After extensive research and reconstruction in a dedicated workshop, the Calibre 321 has now been reborn in-line with its original specifications.

To admire it, one need only look through the sapphire crystal back of the new Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum, which is distinguished by its three subdials made of real meteorite.
