Speedmaster First Omega in Space Watches

The Speedmaster First Omega in Space is a notable watch from the Swiss luxury watch brand Omega, established in 1848 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. This particular model is a tribute to the original Omega Speedmaster that was worn by astronaut Wally Schirra during the Mercury-Atlas 8 mission in 1962, making it the first Omega in space.

In terms of cultural references, Omega has been featured prominently in the James Bond film series, with many of the characters wearing various Omega watches, including models from the Speedmaster line. The brand is also recognized for its strong ties to space exploration, having been the first watch worn on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.

Pricing for the Speedmaster First Omega in Space typically ranges from $5,000 to $7,000 for new models, depending on the retailer and condition. Used models can be found, but their availability can vary; they may be moderately easy to find depending on the market, but rare versions or those in excellent condition may be harder to come by.
