We were there for the latter temptation (hoping that one day we may discover the hidden mystery of the future). A tiny sign with the famous logo, hidden from view, situated at the entrance to one of its historic sites, where a museum now occupies the first and only floor. You enter the main hall and for a moment you are in awe, for it is here that you realize that everything you may know about this particular brand name is only a very small, though significant, part of the whole. And this is only the beginning because, as we are told, the manufacture and the museum are the focus of a strategic restoration and expansion to take place over the next three years. Our visit to the <strong>Omega<\/strong> museum is more surprising than we would have expected and an authentic discovery because, in a relatively small space, we experience such an astonishing and tightly condensed quantity of the history of innovation in watch making, broken down into product lines and sporadically interrupted by experimental models that tell the story of highly advanced and unceasing Research and Development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To the extent of forcing us to divide this report into several chapters: our voyage leads to the discovery of models so far unknown to even the most devoted fans that, if reissued could, in our opinion, vastly expand the horizons of the brand, attracting new clients and further heightening their brand awareness (which we will discuss later). But let\u2019s start with a model that is the true standard-bearer of <strong>Omega<\/strong> throughout the world: the <strong>Speedmaster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Launched in <strong>1957<\/strong>, selected by <strong>NASA<\/strong> in <strong>1965<\/strong>, the \u201c<em>Speedy<\/em>\u201c, as they call it on the other side of the ocean, becomes the famous \u201c<em>Moon<\/em> <em>Watch<\/em>\u201d only in <strong>1969<\/strong>. The first <strong>Speedmaster<\/strong> has the manual <strong>caliber<\/strong> <strong>321<\/strong> with a <strong>column wheel chrono function<\/strong>\u00a0mechanism designed by <strong>Lemania <\/strong>(Albert Piguet). An immediate success: this is an exceptional caliber in quality and finish, the prominent leader in chronographic calibers (with industrial level production) of the era.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 10px; height: auto; width: auto; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; display: table;\">\n<p><a rel=\"prettyPhoto&lt;p data-wpview-marker=\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201d href=\u201dhttps:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DSC_0379_red_firma.jpg\u201d&gt;<br>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 150px; width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DSC-0379-red-firma.c7cd88e4deb1.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0379_red_firma\"><br>\n<a rel=\"prettyPhoto&lt;p data-wpview-marker=\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201d href=\u201dhttps:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DSC_0377_red_firma.jpg\u201d&gt;<br>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 150px; width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DSC-0377-red-firma.303de3fa7919.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0377_red_firma\"><br>\n<a rel=\"prettyPhoto&lt;p data-wpview-marker=\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201d href=\u201dhttps:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DSC_0355_red_firma.jpg\u201d&gt;<br>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 150px; width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DSC-0355-red-firma.c5e884975764.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0355_red_firma\"><br>\n<a rel=\"prettyPhoto&lt;p data-wpview-marker=\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201d href=\u201dhttps:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DSC_0403_red_firma.jpg\u201d&gt;<br>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 150px; width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/2013\/09\/DSC-0403-red-firma.03ab22661e2f.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0403_red_firma\"><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It would later be replaced by the <strong>861<\/strong>, still in production and labeled <strong>1861<\/strong>, with the single exception (sigh!) of eliminating the column wheel and replacing it with a cam, a decision that certainly simplified the mechanics but made it less rare.
