More about Omega:
Launched in 1957 as a sport and racing chronograph, the Omega Speedmaster has become one of the most well-known chronograph models ever. The first Speedmaster model was the reference 2915, featuring a distinctive luminous broad-arrow shaped hour hand. It was outfitted with the caliber 321, which would be used until 1968, when it was replaced by the caliber 861.
Starting in 1962, NASA began testing a series of chronograph watches from various brands (including Breitling, Longines, Rolex, and Omega) for their astronauts to wear to space. Only three watches passed the first round of “Qualification Test Procedures” and went on to final stages of testing. Omega’s Speedmaster chronograph was the only model to pass final testing, and went on to space. Following this event, Omega added the word “Professional” to the dials of their Speedmaster models, and gave them a new reference number – 145.012.
Founded in 2008, HODINKEE has grown from a niche horological blog into one of the most influential voices in modern watch culture. Known for its thoughtful editorial approach and deep engagement with collectors, HODINKEE has collaborated with leading manufacturers to produce limited-edition timepieces that reflect both historical significance and contemporary design. The Omega Speedmaster HODINKEE 10th Anniversary Limited Edition celebrates this milestone, uniting Speedmaster heritage with details inspired by the passion and perspective of the global watch community.
