On March 1, 1965, NASA announced that the renowned Swiss professional watch brand OMEGA Speedmaster had become "designated equipment approved to participate in all its manned space missions". This historic day officially kicked off Omega's legendary space journey, including every moon landing feat in human history and countless significant space missions. NASA's qualification certification is also synonymous with Omega's pioneering spirit and outstanding design. Today, on the 60th anniversary of the Speedmaster's certification by NASA, Omega looks back on the era of space exploration that humanity yearned for, commemorating the significant moment when the Speedmaster watch wrote the legendary story of human space.
All the hardware equipment on the spaceship must pass the qualification certification of NASA's Safety, Reliability and Quality Control Department. Engineer James Ragan is the person in charge of the wristwatch testing for NASA's manned space mission. Among the important responsibilities of his 36-year space career, one was to test and review the chronograph wristwatches used by astronauts in NASA's manned space missions.
The Omega Speedmaster ST 105.003 watch successfully passed all 11 rigorous tests, and this watch was exactly the same as the one Omega was selling in stores at that time. Other brands of wristwatches were eliminated during the high-temperature testing stage. The chronograph seconds hand of one brand deformed and entangled with other hands, while the crystal of another brand deformed and fell off the case.

Over the past 60-plus years, the Speedmaster series of watches has maintained its consistent classic design and undergone several significant evolutions. The most important improvement has been the replica and derivative version of the 321 movement that has passed NASA tests. The classic 321 movement is solid and durable, elegantly designed, and equipped with a column wheel mechanism that is complex, exquisite and of greater technical value.
