The unique feature is that on the sub dial that is the small secondhand there is a small medallion embedded into the dial that shows an Adaptation of the famous Apollo 11 mission patch. The patch shows an eagle descends to the lunar surface with an olive branch representing peace in its claws. In the distance, far above the horizon, the earth is visible.

Below the words “Omega Speedmaster Professional” 02:56 GMT is written below, which is the exact time that Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. The dial is protected by Hesalite, the same robust, shatter-proof acrylic crystal found on the original Moon Watch. Hesalite was ideally suited for use in space – there was no chance that it could break apart and send potentially dangerous fragments into the low-gravity environment. Be sure to look out for this watch at your nearest Omega dealer.
