Omega Speedmaster is one of the few things that will make you feel that you were on the moon. The term "Omega" literally means "great O". Additionally it is a Greek alphabet which is repeatedly made use of to stand for the last, the end, or the ultimate limit of a set. Omega also represents success and perfection, words which are appropriate for the watches manufactured by the mens Omega watches company.
Omega can definitely stand on top in terms of time. Nonetheless it did not stop there. Due to its precision and reliability, the Omega Speedmaster watch, was selected by NASA as its standard chronometer or travel clock for manned space flights around the first day of March 1965. Some of the space travels by the Omega watch were the "GT-3" (Gemini-Titan III) on March 23, 1964 with the astronauts John Young and Virgil Grissom aboard. On another space expedition which was the next Gemini flight (IV), Edward White got out of the capsule and became the very first American to walk in space. On his wrist was the Omega Speedmaster.
Omega’s Speedmaster Professional continued to be an adjunct to all manned space flights and in the year 1970 it actually contributed to saving the lives of the astronauts of the crippled Apollo 13 shuttle. Commander Lovell used his Omega Speedmaster in order to time the 1/10th of a succeeding firing of the secondary rockets taking the ship out of lunar orbit into a trajectory back to the green planet Earth. This life saving event lead towards the acknowledgment as well as awarding by NASA to Omega the highest distinction of the "Snoopy Award".
Omega may mean the end or limit, but the Omega watch company is absolutely pushing that limit. Omega has many fake watch models, but Omega Speedmaster is the only one that can let you experience space and beyond.
