They may be fifty, but the Speedmaster seems to be wearing its years well... The famous chronograph from Omega, which has passed eleven NASA tests, six lunar landings, all US manned space missions and is currently on board the international space station ISS, will be published in L'OROLOGIO SPECIALE ALMANACCO, soon on newsstands, in the 50th anniversary celebration series, including the Broad Arrow version, with coaxial escapement and the characteristic hands that featured on the 1957 model and were later replaced. In anticipation of the magazine's release, here is a steel and red gold version of the Broad Arrow with a brown dial.
