Known for having been the first watch to make it to the moon, they’re also famous for their incredibly high standards of quality and accuracy.

With its different lines of watches – be it the quintessential sports watch with the Speedmaster to the dressy Constellation, they have you covered for every occasion. Adorning the wrists of astronauts, celebrities, politicians and anyone who wants an heirloom timepiece to pass down to future generations, these watches are certainly the most-coveted pieces one can own!

This solid gold rendition of the iconic Omega Speedmaster is crafted in Omega’s own proprietary alloy called Moonshine gold. Composed of 75% gold mixed with 14.5% of silver, 9% of copper and 1% of palladium – it is a unique take on yellow gold, being slightly paler and less saturated. In spite of being crafted in gold, it still very much features the original details of the beloved Omega Speedmaster. Not to mention it features an absolutely stunning green dial – a colour very much in-trend these days.

This exclusive Omega crafted in their proprietary Sedna gold is most complicated watch ever made by them. It blends in 2 functions, a split-second chronograph and minute repeater. The new movement took six years to develop and an application of 17 patents. This watch can tell you the timing by chiming it at the push of a button, thus making it a minute repeater. It has a certain heft to it owing to its solid gold construction and the movement alone weighs 45 grams.
