Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz 35th Anniversary Limited Edition
When astronaut Lieutenant Basic Thomas P. Stafford (USA) and cosmonaut Lieutenant Normal Alexei A. Leonov (USSR) shook hands in the docking hatch which linked their respective spacecraft, the place pioneers, together with their crews, had been wearing OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Chronograph watches on their wrists.
The 35th anniversary of their historic handshake is commemorated with the release of the OMEGA Speedmaster Expert Apollo-Soyuz 35th Anniversary Chronograph Limited Edition, which, got 1975 pieces available.
The dial have been created from a meteorite which survived its entry into our planet’s atmosphere along with the high-speed impact using the terrestrial surface area. The meteorite’s unusual structure could be the end result its really large temperature when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere, followed by a period of cooling. The dial is really a single piece cut through the meteorite; accordingly, since no two pieces with the meteorite are precisely alike, each view in this confined release is certainly exclusive. The black colour from the meteorite dial is the effect of the surface oxidation procedure. The silvery seconds hand and chronograph counters appear within the meteorite’s organic colour.
The OMEGA Speedmaster Specialist Apollo-Soyuz “35th Anniversary” chronograph can be a fitting tribute to some pivotal moment in area exploration. A handshake in orbit between these two former space race adversaries demonstrated to everyone back on earth that it was probable to move forward in a new spirit of cooperation.
