Legend of the Moon Watch:omega Speedmaster (i)

When you look up to the sky by chance and see the moon. what will you think of? A bosom friend who you have not met for a long time. or attractive and familiar scenes of hometown? Or maybe you will call to remembrance a childhood dream of being a spaceman? Or maybe you have been a very successful man with a moon phase watch on the wrist where collects your loving moon? Or maybe you will think that it is good to wear a watch which had been to the moon and participated in spacewalk? Omega Speedmaster is the first and only watch ever to have been to the Moon. I believe that most watch lovers have known this. since it is how Omega advertised this edition. However. if you probe the space exploration competition between USA and Russia in 1960’s and 1970’s. more questions. puzzles and discussions will be found behind the legend. making Speedmaster more attractive.mens replica watcheschina replica watches Speedmaster Four years after Speedmaster coming out. the space competition began. On 12th. April of 1961. Russians had their first manned space flight. and spaceman Yuri Gagarin became the first man who entered the orbital of space and earth. It is said that what Yuri Gagarin wore was Sturmanskije Rodina watch made by Russia (Although watches made by Russia were quite stable. persistent and accurate. it is said that Russian spacemen changed to wear Speedmaster later. And in the space station project run by USA and Russia tag replica watches After that. USA strove with Russia. president John F. Kennedy swore to probe the space and expressed the determination of landing on the moon. The USA space center NASA also started a string of space missions. In the early Project Mercury run by USA. it was not limited that if the spacemen had to wear a watch during the mission or not. so no problems arising from the appointed chronograph. On 24th. May of 1962. USA spaceman Scott Carpenter wore a watch of Breiting Navitimer Cosmonaut and drove spacecraft to enter the outer space orbital. According to the record. this is the first Swiss watch which had been to outer Space. Before Scott Carpenter. there were three Americans who entered the outer space. It is known that John Glenn wore no watch with him. as for Alan Sheppard and Virgil(Gus)Grissom. they had passed away before someone began to probe this thing.Rolex On 3rd. October of 1962. Wally Schirra first wore Speedmaster and drove spacecraft of Sigma 7 into the earth orbital. On 15th. May of 1963. Gordon Cooper drove Faith 7 into the earth orbital; meanwhile he wore Speedmaster Acutron Astronaut (the first entering outer space American watch) for a test. Later Cooper summarized all the opinions from spacemen in Mercury Project. and chose Speedmaster as the appointed chronograph. On 18th. March of 1965. Russian spaceman Alexei Leonov had the first spacewalk. but he did not wear a watch outside his space suit. It is said that inside his space suit. he should have worn a watch made by Russia just as Yuri Gagarin. but nobody could prove that. But what is interesting is that later Alexei Leonov also participated in Apollo-Soyuz Test Flight. and he wore Speedmaster just as other US spacemen did. On 4th. June of the same year. the US spaceman Edward Higgins White. II took Genini to have USA’s first spacewalk. and he wore a Speedmaster with Vecro watch band on the sleeve of space suit. so Speedmaster was certainly the first watch which exposed in the severe environment of outer space. With the photo of Edward H. White. II’s spacewalk becoming the cover of Life Magzine. Speedmaster suddenly attracted watch lovers from all over the world. What is interesting is that Omega did not know what NASA did about the watch until Edward White’s spacewalk were shown to everybody and got surprised just as others did.cheap replica Grande Classique watches. until when he was on a training for Apollo 1 and unfortunately died in a fire accident together with his colleagues Gus Grisson and Roger Chaffee. But the strong Speedmaster survived from the fire. and was given to Edward White’s wife as memorial. later it was passed on to Edward White’s son Edward H. White. III. After Edward H. White. III wore this watch for many years; it was locked into the steel safe and has been kept until today.
