It’s Moon Day! On July 20th, 44 years ago today, the first moon landing took place. One day later, July 21st 2:56 UTC, Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon. Aldrin followed 15 minutes later… Of course wearing Omega Speedmaster – well, at least Aldrin did, as witnessed by the pics below.

While we have a little something special saved up for tomorrow, we will kick off Moon Day with a few pictures of the Apollo 11 crew sporting their Speedmasters.

One of our friends mailed us these pictures of his stunning Omega Speedmaster Apollo Soyuz Meteorite reference 311.30.42.30.99.001.. One of our favourite Speedmasters from recent years! Although it takes away a bit of the instrumental look of the standard Professional, the Meteorite dial is such a great match to the Moonwatch heritage!

Our friend H. shared this great picture of his Omega Speedmaster Professional 345.0808 with caliber 863 – the very first Speedmaster Professional to be fitted with a clear caseback. The rose gold-plated caliber 863 looks stunning in all its glory. Judging by the serial number, it is a rather early example from approx. 1980 – great stuff.

Thanks for sharing!
