Originally built for race car drivers, it accidentally became the ultimate tool for space exploration. Astronaut Wally Schirra wore his personal Speedmaster during the Mercury-Atlas 8 mission, and in 1965—after surviving brutal “torture tests,” including extreme heat, cold, shock, and vacuum—NASA officially flight-qualified the Speedmaster for all manned missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"199\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"668\"\u003eBuzz Aldrin wore his Speedmaster (ST 105.012) on the lunar surface during Apollo 11, and it has been known as the “Moonwatch” ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"668\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"807\"\u003eHere we have a lovely reference 145.022, nicknamed the “Straight Writing.” This nickname refers to a specific engraving on the caseback of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch produced in the early 1970s. It was Omega’s first commercial response to the 1969 moon landing, featuring the commemorative text “THE FIRST WATCH WORN ON THE MOON” engraved in horizontal straight lines rather than the curved (arched) text found on later models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"807\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1254\"\u003eThe case on this specimen is in great condition, paired with a beautiful tachymeter bezel featuring the desirable “Dot Next to 90” (DNN90), free from major defects or scratches.
