Omega Pays Tribute To The First Space Watch CK2998

Omega Speedmaster The First Omega in Space faithfully reproduces the Ref.CK2998 chronograph worn by American astronaut Walter "Wally" Schirra during the Mercury Project Sigma 7 mission in 1962. It is equipped with the Master Chronometer-certified OMEGA 3861 manual-winding movement, paying tribute to the first OMEGA watch to enter space.

Omega Speedmaster The First Omega in Space continues many classic design elements of the CK-2998 chronograph in the 1950s - 39.7mm diameter, vertical lugs, arched mirror, black aluminum bezel, Alpha-shaped hands and classic "dot over 90" scale details. The stainless steel case is satin-brushed and mirror-polished, and the newly designed box-shaped sapphire crystal is coated with AR coating, with the Ω logo printed in the center.

The dial is treated with CVD coating to present a gray-blue color, which is also the unique dial color of CK-2998 in the 1950s. The 3 o'clock is the 30-minute counter, the 6 o'clock is the 12-hour counter, and the 9 o'clock is the small second hand. The three small dials decorated with snail patterns are concave to highlight the three-dimensional sense. The central Alpha hour and minute hands and hour markers are made of dark brown Super-LumiNova luminous material, which forms a subtle contrast with the gray-blue dial.

OMEGA 3861 manual winding movement, with a swing frequency of 28,800vph, equipped with a coaxial escapement and a silicon balance wheel, a power reserve of 60 hours, and excellent anti-magnetic performance and travel time accuracy. The solid case back is decorated with a seahorse emblem pattern and engraved with the inscriptions "THE FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE" and "OCTOBER 3, 1962".
