Like most people, I love to look at luxury watches as I flip through the pages of Vogue and other magazines. I guess it's no secret that celebrity endorsements can really help with the sales of a particular brand. But there is a watch that is not associated with Tiger Woods, Maria Sharapova, or some other super athlete. I found a watch that isn't being "rocked" all over the pages of Vanity Fair by Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. And this watch is what I'd consider a real celebrity in its own right. It is the Omega Speedmaster. What's so special about this watch and why should you consider buying one? In 1962 NASA began outfitting their astronauts on the Gemini space missions with Speedmaster watches that were attached to the outside of the space suits. As the story goes, the Omega watch company saw pictures of their watches on astronauts and that's how the relationship began. Throughout the 1960s the company continued to provide watches for astronauts on space missions, but the Apollo 11 mission is really what sealed the Omega Speedmaster 3570.50.00. into the American history books. On July 20, 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission, Buzz Aldrin wore a Speedmaster when he walked on the moon. The back of each watch comes engraved with these words: "Fight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions- Speedmaster- The first watch worn on the moon." This watch may just be the ultimate marriage of luxury and durability. The watch has a simple black dial with white luminescent hands, lettering, and hour markers. A black tachymeter bezel surrounds the dial. It features a chronograph function with the minute register at 3 o'clock, the hour register at 6 o'clock, and the continuous sub-seconds hand at 9 o'clock. This a large masculine watch, measuring 39.8 millimeters wide. The classic design remains basically unchanged from the original 1957 model. It displays the prestigious Omega name below the 12 o'clock hour marker. Before you make an investment in a luxury watch, it's good to know what other people think of the product once they've owned and used it for a while. One of the best ways to do that is to read customer reviews online. Of 24 customer reviews found on Amazon, 17 gave their Omega Speemaster's a full 5 stars. This means excellent product quality and customer satisfaction. Fans of this watch are very enthusiastic and thrilled about it and the reviews are very detailed and give a really good overview of all the neat features. Purchasing through Amazon was also found to be a great way to save money. The Omega Watch company was founded in Switzerland in 1848 by Louis Brandt. Omega watches are coveted and worn by Hollywood celebrities and international sports stars alike. The reputation of the watches makes them a preferred brand of the in crowd. Men who know luxury watches appreciate both the history, the make, the style, and the performance of this timepiece. The Omega Speedmaster 3570.50.00 is a luxury watch with 5 decades of history behind it. It is endorsed by NASA and will not disappoint. Treat yourself to the Omega Speedmaster 3570.50.00 and get a luxury watch with a place in American history.
