SIXTY with YEARS
the
OMEGA SPEEDMASTER
IN LIGHT OF THE SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE OMEGA SPEEDMASTER,
INTERNATIONAL WATCH PAYS TRIBUTE TO THIS SPECIAL RACING WATCH, DESIGNED WITH THE FIRST-
EVER TACHYMETER SCALE ON ITS BEZEL. YES, SINCE ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN IN 1957, THE SPEEDMASTER
HAS BEEN CLOSELY LINKED TO THE U.S. SPACE RACE, BUT THIS TIMELINE WILL SERVE TO REMIND YOU
OF ITS RICH, AND PARALLEL, TERRESTRIAL RACING HISTORY.
AS NARRATED BY OMEGA’S OWN HISTORICAL RESEARCH DEPARTMENT, WHAT FOLLOWS IS A
PICTORIAL FLASHBACK TO SIXTY SPEEDMASTERS, INCLUDING MANY RARE EDITIONS AND SPECIAL
TRIBUTES. OMEGA NOTES HOW EACH MODEL DIFFERED FROM PREVIOUS EDITIONS OR SERVED AS AN
EVOLUTION OF SPEEDMASTER TECHNOLOGY AND SPIRIT.
