Omega Speedmaster "Moon Watch", 1963
This timepiece is one of the watches that were chosen by NASA in 1965 to accompany the astronauts of the Gemini and Apollo programs into space; they were officially named "Moon Watches" on July 21, 1969. Compared to the previous model it has a slightly larger bezel and, most importantly, white luminous hands for much better readability; the model also has a new central second with luminous arrowhead. From summer 1965 on the watch featured the designation "Professional" on the dial (ST 105.003 became ST 145.003 in 1966). This reference was produced from 1963 to 1965.
