The history of this Omega Speedmaster Gemini 4
This Omega pays tribute to one of the most significant missions in space history: Gemini 4, carried out in 1965. This mission marked the first American extravehicular activity, performed by astronaut Edward White, a decisive step toward future lunar missions. Launched in 2005 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this event, this Speedmaster fully embodies Omega’s space heritage. It perpetuates the historic link between the Speedmaster and major milestones in space exploration, making this model a piece of strong symbolic and historical value.
Case, calibre and bracelet
This Omega is powered by the manual-winding mechanical calibre 1861, an emblematic chronograph of the Moonwatch lineage, featuring 18 jewels, a 48-hour power reserve and a frequency of 3 Hz. The 42 mm stainless steel case is topped with a blue tachymeter bezel, the distinctive signature of this model. The sun-brushed blue dial features white chronograph sub-dials, applied indexes and hands with luminescent coating, ensuring excellent legibility. The watch is protected by a plexiglass crystal and its case back is decorated in tribute to the “First Space Walk.” The ensemble is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet and an Omega stainless steel double folding clasp.
