Moon Over Miami: Omega Presents The New Calibre 321 At Watches & Wonders

In January, Omega announced that, after a decades-long hiatus, one of their most renowned movements was coming back! The iconic caliber 321 is going back into production So it's fitting that Omega introduced new Speedys with a special conversation with another hero General Thomas Stafford, a man whose early explorations with the Gemini and Apollo program made the moon landing possible Stafford wore a Speedmaster into space and he still wears an Omega today.

Naturally, we were over the moon to spend time with the legend himself at Omega's Design District Boutique Using the second generation Caliber 321 as its starting point, Omega's technicians researched the archives and used original plans to reconstruct the movement as accurately as possible Cernan was the last man to walk on the moon and his Speedmaster is now housed at Omega's Museum in Bienne.

Its Calibre 321 provided the perfect design criteria for Omega to follow. . Source
