Moon Walk

JUST FOUR MONTHS after Apollo 11 put the first man on the moon on July 21, 1969, Omega rolled out its first numbered edition Speedmaster in 18 carat yellow gold with a rare burgundy bezel to celebrate.

Only 1014 pieces of the Speedmaster BA 145.022 chronograph watch were produced.

Numbers 1 and 2 were gifted to US President Richard Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew, while 3 to 28 and 1001 to 1008 went to NASA's serving staff. Nixon and Agnew declined the gifts.
