The legendary tachymeter scale is shown in white enamel on a blue ceramic [ZrO2] bezel ring, and includes a nod to Speedmaster history with a dot over ninety. The colour theme continues on the silver dial with blue PVD angle-shaped hour markers and hands.
The NAIAD LOCK keeps all caseback engravings in the correct, upright position, including tributes to Apollo 13 and the Silver Snoopy Award. 0MEGA received the prize seven months after the Speedmaster helped to rescue the Apollo 13 crew.
The watch’s blue nylon fabric strap matches the other blue elements of the watch, and even features the trajectory of the Apollo 13 mission embossed on the lining. This includes their famous slingshot around the far side of the moon.
Stainless steel is a classic in watchmaking: robust, with excellent finishing and great value for money. Known for its corrosion resistance and lasting shine after polishing, it is ideal for both everyday wear and demanding conditions.
A lightweight and extremely scratch-resistant material. Chemically inert and hypoallergenic, ceramic retains its color and flawless finish over time, combining modern aesthetics with outstanding durability.
Synthetic sapphire crystal with Mohs hardness of 9, virtually scratch-proof. Treated with anti-reflective coating to ensure maximum clarity and visibility in all conditions.
For more than half a century, Snoopy has been the “watchdog” of NASA’s safety program. In addition to representing mission success, he has also been able to keep the atmosphere light in more serious situations. Since 1968, the Silver Snoopy Award has been given to individuals or companies who have made significant contributions to the “success of human space missions.”

“I took two OMEGA watches into space. One with the mission elapsed time and the other with Houston time.”
Inside this watch are revolutionary components that ensure the highest standards of performance. From the Co-Axial escapement for lasting precision, to the silicon balance spring for superior anti-magnetism, OMEGA has conquered every challenge that matters.
Twice as Precise as Any Officially Certified Chronometer
Our Master Chronometer watches are tested and certified twice. First, the movement is certified as a Chronometer under the ISO3159 standard by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC). Then, the fully cased watch undergoes eight Master Chronometer tests set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), requiring precision of 0/+5 seconds per day.
Patented Antimagnetic Materials
Everyday objects such as mobile phones, magnetic clasps, laptops, MRI equipment, induction hobs or automatic doors expose watches to magnetic fields, which can disrupt their performance. To avoid permanent deviations of several minutes per day, we use antimagnetic materials like the silicon balance spring, capable of withstanding the strongest fields.
To guarantee integrity at depth, every OMEGA watch – not just some – is fully immersed in water and pressure-tested up to the guaranteed water resistance. By testing every watch, we go far beyond the usual industry standards.
In our pursuit to raise industry standards and push the limits of quality, all OMEGA watches are delivered with a full 5-year warranty. This commitment reflects the confidence we have in our timepieces, offering customers extra peace of mind.
Expect fewer visits to the service center. The Co-Axial escapement was designed to reduce mechanical limitations inside the movement, requiring less lubrication and therefore less servicing. Compared to non-Co-Axial watches, service intervals are significantly longer.
During certification, OMEGA watches undergo extreme testing, including shocks to ensure reliability and accuracy even after heavy impacts. Each watch is designed to resist shocks equivalent to a 1-meter fall onto solid wood, generating forces up to 5000G for a 150g watch.
