Introducing the unworn watch Speedmaster First in Space, Co-Axial Chronograph Tribute – a modern masterpiece born from the legacy of space exploration. On October 3rd, 1962, astronaut Walter Schirra wore his personal Speedmaster CK 2998 during the Sigma 7 mission of NASA’s Mercury programme, marking the first time an was worn in space. This contemporary reimagining honors that pioneering spirit, capturing the timeless charm of the original with cutting-edge advancements. Crafted in polished and brushed stainless steel, the 39.70 mm case stays true to the 2nd generation Speedmaster design while integrating modern sophistication. Beneath the sapphire crystal, styled to echo the original hesalite look, lies a stunning grey-blue dial. CVD-coated to evoke the hue of early CK 2998 models, the dial features vintage Super-LumiNova-filled “Alpha” hands and indexes, paired with a crisp white varnished “Baton” seconds hand and three classic subdials. The iconic tachymeter scale, with the historically significant “Dot Over Ninety,” is set into a black aluminium bezel ring. Accents like the vintage logo on both the dial and crown connect the past to the present, while the caseback is engraved with “THE FIRST IN SPACE” and “OCTOBER 3, 1962,” flanking the beloved Seahorse medallion. At its core beats the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Manual‑winding Calibre 3861 — a contemporary evolution of the legendary Calibre 321, with beating at 21,600 vph, with 26 jewels and a 50-hour power reserve drives exceptional performance now boasting METAS-certified precision, magnetic resistance, and reliability worthy of the stars. It is paired with a polished and brushed stainless steel refined “flat links” bracelet, equipped with patented comfort release system and Foldover butterfly clasp with comfort setting for a perfect fit in any environment—earthly or orbital. Presented in a collector-worthy box with a special “LEGENDARY MOONWATCH” leaflet, this Speedmaster is more than a timepiece—it’s a continuation of a legacy written in space.
