Celebrating 55 years of the moon landing with OMEGA in "Fly Me To The Moon"

The evening was a celebration of space exploration and OMEGA's rich history, a testament to the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of possibility.

The event began with a captivating talk by Martin Issing, who took the audience on a journey through time, tracing the evolution of the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch from its inception in 1957 to its role in the 1970s NASA story. The audience was left in awe as they learned about OMEGA's significant role in the moon landings, a testament to the brand's commitment to precision and innovation.

The highlight of the evening was the screening of "Fly Me To The Moon", a film that pays homage to OMEGA's legacy. The timing of the film's release couldn't have been more perfect, coinciding with the upcoming 55th anniversary of the first moon landing on July 21st. This historic event saw the astronauts of Apollo 11 take humankind’s first daring steps onto the moon, forever changing history and the limits of possibility.

The screening intro was preceded by a poignant recitation of President John F. Kennedy's iconic speech: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon, and returning him safely to the earth." These words, echoing through the room, set the stage for a journey that would transport guests from the opulent surroundings to the vast expanse of the cosmos.

It was during this momentous occasion that the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional became the first watch worn on the moon, establishing the timepiece’s iconic legacy. This is an achievement that OMEGA is immensely proud of, and rightfully so. The brand's commitment to precision, innovation, and excellence was on full display during this event, leaving a lasting impression on all those in attendance.

Following the screening, guests were treated to a delicious lunch set curated by Aurum Theatre, ensuring a genuine happy ending.

The evening was a celebration of OMEGA's legacy, a testament to the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of possibility. As we look forward to the 55th anniversary of the first moon landing, we are reminded of OMEGA's significant role in this historic event, and the brand's unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation.
