George Clooney was just a boy when his hero Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Nearly 50 years later, the two legends of space and screen finally met. OMEGA was right there to capture the moment as they headed to the cinema to relive their personal memories.
THE MOONWATCH
THE BOY ON EARTH
“I was eight years old and we looked through the telescope and I explained to my parents that I could see you guys walking on the moon at that point - which of course was impossible.”
THE MAN OF THE MOON
“My mother was born the year that the Wright brothers first flew. Marion Moon was her name.”

THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY
In 2017, OMEGA is proudly celebrating 60 years of the Speedmaster. First known for its precision, strength and reliability, it’s incredible to think that this sports chronograph has now evolved to become an icon of space exploration and style.
OUR SPACE LEGACY
Since 1962, OMEGA has been on-hand – literally – as astronauts explore space. Its status as the first watch on the Moon earned the Speedmaster its nickname in 1969: the Moonwatch.
