Speedmaster from space

Since flying into space with Mercury-Atlas 8's Wally Schirra and later famously becoming the first watch landed on the Moon, Omega's Speedmaster Professional has enjoyed a long association as the chronograph worn into space. Now, as debuted this week at the BaselWorld Watch and Jewelry trade show in Switzerland, Omega plans to release its first Speedmaster "from" space. The Apollo-Soyuz "35th Anniversary" watch features a dial created from a meteorite recovered after its entry through the atmosphere and impact with the ground. Limited to 1,975 pieces (the year that the joint U.S.-Soviet Apollo-Soyuz Test Project launched), this Speedmaster is also engraved with the mission's insignia on its caseback.
