Omega Speedmaster Apollo XVII | Manual | Steel | Silver Dial | 42mm

A Legend of Space Exploration

The Speedmaster’s journey from racetracks to rockets is unmatched: selected by NASA in 1965 after rigorous testing, it earned its place on the wrists of astronauts and famously rode to the lunar surface as part of Buzz Aldrin’s equipment during the Apollo 11 moonwalk in 1969. This Silver Stainless Steel Speedmaster Apollo XVII — a 42 mm manual-wind Speedmaster — carries that same lineage, a refined instrument and living link to humanity’s greatest voyage.
