The Omega Speedmaster range is perhaps the most famous collection of chronograph watches ever produced by Omega.  Their popularity has lasted for years and the desire for a Speedmaster displayed by the general public does not seem like it will let up in the near future.  The watch we are discussing here, the “Professional” or “Moonwatch” as it was known initially back in 1957 was the first in this range to be produced and has changed little in terms of design and functionality since its creation.

An interesting fact about this watch is that it is one of the few watches which have actually been certified by NASA as being suitable for space flight.  Whilst many will not require the watch for space flight its usefulness does extend far beyond this purpose.  It is one of the most stylish and subtle watch designs to ever be introduced to the watch making world and it is this sleek design which actually resulted in the watch, or a variation of it being used for numerous James Bond films, most recently worn by Daniel Craig in the Casino Royale re-make (pictured wearing a variation below).

Beyond its celebrity accolades the Speedmaster features much functionality and is suitable for a variety of climate conditions, working perfectly from -18 to +71 degrees celsius and 95% humidity, meaning that the watch will serve you well on any tropical holiday you might be planning.  Out of all of the everyday watches you may consider purchasing, an Omega replica, or more specifically an Omega Speedmaster replica watch should be at the top of your list of watches to seriously consider.
