DESCRIPTION
- In 2009 we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission that led to OMEGA’s first lunar landing adventure. This year we commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, a mission remembered for its political, technological and historical significance. When Generals Stafford and Leonov, both wearing Speedmasters, shook hands in the docking hatch of July 17th, 1975, an era of cooperation in space began which would lead to efforts to build a permanently occupied space station. Speedmasters are still standard equipment for the astronauts on the International Space Station.The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz “35th Anniversary”The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project mission is remembered for its political, technological and historical significance. It was the first time that spacecraft built by different nations had docked and it signalled an era of cooperation in space which would lead to the efforts to build a permanently occupied space station.Political history in spaceOn July 17, 1975, astronaut Lieutenant General Thomas P. Stafford (USA) and cosmonaut Lieutenant General Alexei A. Leonov (USSR) met in the docking hatch which linked their respective spacecraft. On their wrists, these space pioneers each wore OMEGA Speedmaster Professional chronographs.The mission also marked the last launch of an Apollo spacecraft.Commemorating a handshakeThe 35th anniversary of their historic handshake is commemorated with the release of the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz “35th Anniversary” chronograph in a limited edition of 1975 watches.A meteorite dialThe dial has been created from a meteorite which survived its entry into our planet’s atmosphere and the high-speed impact with the terrestrial surface. The meteorite’s unusual structure is the result its very high temperature when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere, followed by a period of cooling. The dial is a single piece cut from the meteorite; accordingly, because no two pieces of the meteorite are exactly alike, each watch in this limited edition is absolutely unique.The black colour of the meteorite dial is the result of a surface oxidation process. The silvery seconds hand and chronograph counters appear in the meteorite’s natural colour.
