As early as 1968, eager to anticipate the specific needs of NASA, Omega started to work on improvements to the Moonwatch.
At the same time, new technologies and new functionalities were appearing and becoming more popular: automatic winding on chronographs, day and date indication, then quartz and other innovations.
Always at the forefront of research, Omega gradually introduced these novelties in its various ranges, and notably on the Speedmaster.
The first evolution was produced in 1969, with the Speedmaster Professional Mark II, assuming that the Moonwatch is the Mark I, although never called like this.
The Mark II conserved the same caliber 861, but the case, made by Piquerez, had a new shape, with a better integration of the bracelet and a flat mineral glass covering the bezel.
The steel version was commercialized as ST 145.014, then ST 145.034. A gold plated version with a bordeaux bezel (MD 145.034) was produced at less than 5’000 copies.
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.
