Omega Speedmaster Mark II

£ 1,500

This is one of the most iconic watches in history - the Omega Speedmaster was selected by Nasa for astronauts to use during the Apollo space program and was worn on the surface of the moon by Buzz Aldrin (Neil Armstrong left his Speedmaster aboard the lunar module due to problems with the electronic timing system). 

The Speedmaster is a chronograph that can be used to time events of up to 12 hours duration, presumably this functionality was useful for the astronauts which is why it was selected by Nasa. The Mark II version of the Speedmaster was introduced in 1969. The stainless steel case is heavy and has a very solid solid feel - I guess the watch equivalent of the 60s and 70s muscle cars. 

The watch is powered by the Omega calibre 861 which was a joint development between Omega and Lemania. The movement is extremely well made and proved itself a reliable performer in the Omega lineup for many years, indeed this family of movements remained in production for nearly 30 years. 

The watch has been serviced and regulated and fitted with a new mineral glass. It comes with the original strap which is still in very serviceable condition (it’s adjustable for wrists diameters from about 170mm up to 210mm). The case has been cleaned and finished to a very high standard. Time keeping is superb as one would expect from a watch is this calibre.

Shipping guide for t-shirts

All t-shirts on our website are now printed and shipped by an external supplier inside the UK. This means that if you place an order for both a watch and a t-shirt, they will be shipped separately.

Our supplier uses a Royal Mail tracked service for all shipments and this usually takes a little longer than our watches. You can see an estimated timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

 

Please note, during busy sale periods dispatch may take a little longer (this is quite rare). These delivery times are a guide based on the carriers terms of service, products may, in some unusual cases take longer to arrive. If this happens, please get in touch.
