Omega Speedmaster Hesalite

The Omega Speedmaster is a celebrated version of the iconic Speedmaster chronograph, distinguished by its use of Hesalite crystal. This synthetic material, chosen for its shatter-resistant properties, played a critical role in the watch's selection by NASA for space missions. The Hesalite crystal, unlike sapphire, does not scatter into small fragments upon impact, making it safer in the confined environment of spacecraft. This version retains the classic design elements of the Speedmaster, including the tachymeter bezel and multi-function chronograph, while embodying the historic legacy of the "Moonwatch." Known for its robustness, precision, and vintage aesthetic, the Omega Speedmaster is a beloved choice for enthusiasts who appreciate both its heritage and functionality.
