The story · Since 1969
Four months after the first Moon landing, Omega presented gold Speedmasters to NASA astronauts at a dinner in Houston. Since 1994 it has released a new Apollo XI edition every five years; the 2019 steel edition has a 42 mm case and 20 mm between the lugs.

Omega made 1,014 gold Speedmaster BA145.022 between 1969 and 1973 to mark Apollo 11. Numbers 1 and 2 were presented to President Nixon and Vice President Agnew; both now sit in the Omega Museum. Most astronauts received pieces with engraved casebacks at a Houston dinner on November 25, 1969, and the majority of the rest were made available to the public.
Around 1980 Omega issued about 300 numbered yellow gold BA 345.0802, one of the first Speedmasters with a display back, engraved Apollo XI 1969. In 1989 the 20th anniversary steel edition added a case band engraving and came in a wooden box with a Velcro strap.
From 1994 Omega settled into a five-year rhythm. The 25th anniversary came in steel, white gold and skeletonised platinum, and 1999 brought a 9,999-piece edition whose caseback quotes the words of the landing. Omega's own history also lists a 1999 white gold Moonphase for the 30th anniversary.
The 2004 35th anniversary edition used a white dial with black subdials and printed the landing date July 20, 1969 in red. In 2009 the steel 40th anniversary edition put the Apollo XI mission patch on the subdial at 9 o'clock in sterling silver, and in 2012 Omega gave Apollo 17 a 925 silver dial embossed with that mission's patch.
The 45th anniversary edition broke from tradition with a titanium case, a Sedna gold bezel and a laser-ablated grey dial. It was limited to 1,969 pieces and shipped on a NATO strap rather than a bracelet.
For the 50th anniversary Omega recreated the 1969 gold watch in its new Moonshine gold, limited to 1,014 pieces, and added a 6,969-piece steel edition with Buzz Aldrin on the small seconds subdial. Both were the first Speedmasters with the Master Chronometer calibre 3861.
GQ reported in May 2019 that Clooney owns one of the roughly 1,000 Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Moonshine gold Speedmasters, and wore it that week. He is an Omega ambassador.

2023. Sotheby's sold Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert's gold BA145.022-69 for US$152,400; its caseback carries no edition number, possibly because he joined the crew as a last-minute backup.

The Omega Speedmaster Apollo takes a 20 mm strap: all 8 references with a known width use 20 mm. These widths come from our database and are not yet verified.
20 mm. Omega lists 20 mm between the lugs for the Apollo XVII, Apollo 11 45th Anniversary and steel Apollo 11 50th Anniversary editions and for ref. 311.30.42.30.01.002, all on 42 mm cases.
It shipped on a brown NATO strap with a titanium buckle. Fratello notes that the titanium bracelet of the X-33 can be fitted to it.
A brushed steel bracelet with foldover clasp, plus a Velcro strap covered in black-coated cork that nods to the Apollo boost protective cover.
Fratello reports that both 50th anniversary cases are based on reference 105.012, a slightly different shape from the 2019 Moonwatch but the same as the Moonwatch introduced in January 2021. Its bracelet was later used on the 2020 Ed White with small end pieces.
Yes. Fratello describes the solid gold bracelet as tapering to 14 mm at the clasp, like the 1969 original.
Omega gives 47.50 mm lug to lug and 13.09 mm thickness for the steel 50th anniversary (310.20.42.50.01.001), and 48.20 mm lug to lug for reference 311.30.42.30.01.002.
The gap between the two lugs that hold the strap, in millimetres. A new strap must match it exactly: 20 mm lugs take a 20 mm strap.
Most watches use spring bars, so any strap of the right width fits. Many smartwatches use their own band system instead, such as Apple Watch bands or Garmin QuickFit.
