The original Speedmaster CK2998 was released in 1959. Since then, it has remained a highly sought-after vintage Speedmaster model among collectors worldwide. Its alpha hands, symmetrical case, and deep-toned bezel have earned it timeless appeal among watch enthusiasts. The CK2998 is especially famous as the first OMEGA watch worn in space. In 1962, astronaut Walter "Wally" Schirra made history aboard Project Mercury's Sigma 7 mission while wearing his own Speedmaster CK2998. Now, OMEGA has retained the hallmarks of this iconic model while further updating its stunning design.

 All three subdials are black, as are the minute track and polished ceramic bezel with a white enamel pulsometer scale. The strap is black perforated leather with a white rubber interior. A distinctive feature of this model is the pulsometer scale on the bezel rather than a tachymeter. The pulsometer scale, which measures the number of heartbeats per minute, is a function particularly associated with the CK2998. The original CK2998 offered four different measurement bezels to choose from: tachymeter, pulsometer, decimal meter, and telemeter. Following this tradition, this model features a pulsometer. The case back is engraved with the limited edition number and features the original Seahorse emblem and the word "SPEEDMASTER." This is sure to be one of the most sought-after new releases of 2018.
