Early models had broad arrow hands , a steel bezel, and the legendary caliber 321 movement, a column-wheel chronograph known for its precision and durability. By the early 1960s, NASA was searching for a reliable wristwatch for astronauts. After testing multiple brands under extreme conditions—heat, cold, shock, vibration, and vacuum—the Speedmaster (specifically reference ST105.003 ) was the only watch to pass. In 1965 , it was officially “Flight Qualified for All Manned Space Missions.” Shortly after, Omega ...
