Vintage 1969 Omega Speedmaster NASA Moon Apollo Print Advertisement — Original Chronograph Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1969 Omega Speedmaster magazine advertisement captures the apex of the Space Age with one of the most iconic headlines in watch advertising history: 'The chronograph. Would NASA select second best?' Anchored by the breathtaking Earthrise photograph taken from lunar orbit, the original print ad boldly declares Omega the 'First Watch Worn on the Moon,' referencing Gemini and Apollo astronauts who wore the Speedmaster Chronograph on every crewed mission. Few collectible ads marry horological legend with genuine historical weight so completely — this vintage advertisement documents a pivotal moment when consumer watchmaking and human spaceflight were permanently intertwined.
