About the Model

In the second half of the 1970s, Omega embarked on the quartz revolution and even decided to fit some Speedmaster models with the LCD calibre 1620 quartz movement.

In 1977, Omega unveiled the Speedmaster Professional LCD, reference ST 186.0004. The display window has the following functions: time (12 or 24 hours), date/day, and chronograph. In addition, pressing the central pusher illuminates the screen.

In 1978, a modified version without the light function, replaced by tritium tubes (caliber 1621), was developed under the name Project Alaska IV and offered to NASA for Shuttle missions. The latter tested them in training but also aboard the Shuttle, but in the end, the Moonwatch remained the best choice.

About the Brand

In 1848, Louis Brandt founded a company in La Chaux-de-Fonds which would become Omega. In the 1880s, the Louis Brandt & Fils company moved to its current site in Bienne and in 1894 the caliber Omega was created, which would give its name to the company. Renowned for its precise, innovative and affordable watches, it became the largest supplier of watches to the British Army during World War II. It also became the first company to time the Olympic Games in 1932. Among its range of numerous professional watches, the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon in 1969.
