Omega Speedmaster First Omega in Space 'FOIS'

This Speedmaster celebrates a legendary moment: Walter Schirra's Mercury Sigma 7 mission on October 3, 1962, when he wore the CK 2998 into orbit as the first Omega in space. The 39.7mm stainless steel case houses the METAS-certified Calibre 3861 Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement, resistant to magnetic fields over 15,000 gauss. The grey-blue CVD-coated dial recreates the vintage CK 2998 tone with a stepped design, painted index markers filled with vintage-colored Super-LumiNova, and Alpha hands. A domed sapphire crystal mimics the hesalite look while the black anodized aluminum bezel features the iconic Dot Over Ninety detail. The caseback is engraved with "THE FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE" and "OCTOBER 3, 1962" alongside the Seahorse medallion. Completed with a flat-link bracelet and Omega's comfort release adjustment system, this 2024 Anniversary Series piece honors the Speedmaster's space heritage with authentic vintage character and modern Co-Axial precision. A true tribute to orbital exploration that you can wear daily. Our offering is in superb, near mint condition and comes in full set of boxes and papers.
