Why We Love It

There are Speedmasters, and there are Moonwatches. They are not the same.

To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Speedmaster, Omega went back to the Speedy's roots. This is a 1:1 reissue of the very first Omega Speedmaster Reference 2915-1 that was originally released in 1957. The first Speedmaster was notable for a few reasons, the biggest being it was the first chronograph to move the tachymeter scale to the outside of the dial and onto the bezel. That's right, that was a major innovation in watch design as chronographs of the era had their tachymeters printed on the outer edge of the dial (looking at you Heuer Carrera).

This was the watch "For men who reckon time in seconds", as the advertisements showing two gentleman behind the wheel of a sports car would declare. This was before it went to NASA, or was worn by Ed White, or became 'The Moonwatch'. At this point, it was also a wearable prototype. Within three months of being introduced, the Speedmaster would undergo a series of changes before the Ref. 2915 was discontinued in 1959 to make way for the 2998. That makes original 2915s extremely rare and valuable beyond the reach of many of us enthusiasts. Original 2915s have fetched as much at $400k at auction - and deservedly so as their are far fewer 2915s in existence than Paul Newman Daytonas.

This Speedmaster is a chance for us to look at the origins of an icon, and be able to wear and enjoy that design without the headache or fuss of a near-priceless original. That being said, this still isn't that common as Omega only made 3,557 of them.
