Famous timepiece maker OMEGA just released a special edition wristwatch to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing. This Limited Edition wristwatch is a direct descent of the Original Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch worn by Buzz Aldrin. The watch uses Hesalite which is a shatter-proof type of acrylic crystal with a black dial face powered by OMEGA’s reliable calibre 1861 movement.
The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Apollo 11: 40th Anniversary Limited Edition comes in a special black box that will include a 42 mm silver medallion in honor of the mission, along with Certificate of Authenticity and information on the mission.
Now I can’t help to wonder which timepiece Neil Armstrong wore that day, but definitely not this one.

Neil Armstrong actually left his inside the lander as a backup timer. Buzz was the first to wear a Speedmaster on the moon, though it was an earlier 321 caliber model.
