The first big announcement of the year was the Moonwatch, which appeared with a new caliber, Master Chronometer certifica and bracalet design.
One of the first news of yeras came from Omega. It is worth nothing that in the days when our general mood goes backwards, an attempt to move forward, a watch that directly reminds of the discoveries outside the galaxy is good news.
One of the most powerful stories watchmaking is the presence of Omega Speedmaster in the space mission where humanity first landed on the Moon. Celine Yap has an interesting interview about explained how Omega was chosen with James Ragan who tested and provided all equipment to use in NASA’s space mission. James Ragan says in this interview: “ The astronauts wanted a chronograph watch. This watch is supposed to be able to operate at -/+ 180 degrees Celsius; I thought I wouldn’t find a watch like this.” Watches that meet the critireas are requested from all brands, they can find only 4 wathces and Omega is the only watch that can pass test among all these watches, it succesfully completes the space mission. It is a fairly right choice that the new versions of watch later take the name “Moonwatch”.
Omega presented Apollo 11  Anniversary Limited Edition with golden and silver versions of featuring Caliber 1861 in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of  Apollo 11 mission. After a while, Omega also presented “Silver Snoopy 50th Anniversary Speedmaster” which is also NASA connected and one of the hits of the year with Snoopy on october.
The highlight of the Moonwatch which announced yesterday is that it is an updated and improved model. It is a big announcement for brand because after more than 50 years we are meeting a new caliber. The Co- Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 3861, equipped with a coaxial escapement and certified Master Chronometer, is used for the first time in this hand-wound watch after which is succesor to ’s famous caliber.
