The Omega Speedmaster Racing

When the Omega Speedmaster was introduced in 1957, it was valued by motorsport and rally drivers for its chronograph performance and for its design aesthetics. In fact, its dial design was inspired by the dashboards of Italian cars of the time. Nearly a decade before it made a name for itself in space, the Speedmaster had already established itself as one of the world’s favourite chronographs. The Omega Speedmaster was the first chronograph whose tachymetric scale was repositioned from the dial to the bezel. This innovation made it particularly easy to read the tachymetric time and the watch became an immediate hit with competitive drivers. In fact, the very first print advertisement for the Omega Speedmaster featured a photograph of two sports car enthusiasts and copy about their reliable chronograph. The Speedmaster Racing honours the chronograph’s decades-long connection to motor racing before the Speedmaster was worn on the Moon ,or at the North and South Poles, it was found on the wrists of driving high-performance automobiles.
