Omega Speedster Watch
By J. Wallace
A bit of history: This Swiss watch got its start as a timepiece built for NASA back in the ’60s. It had to pass insane stress testing by NASA lab techs, including vibration, shock, and extreme tests. The astronauts themselves might not survive prolonged exposure in an environment of -18 degrees Celsius, but the Omega will still be ticking away. Today, the latest Omega Speedster is just as durable, and among the mere three percent of all Swiss watches officially “chronometer certified”. The watch has 30-minute and 12-hour dials, a silver stainless steel bracelet, and sapphire crystal. You can wear it swimming or for “recreational diving”. In other words, damn near indestructible, a great retro timepiece perfect for one of your last purchases of 2007.
