ยทHello everyone,
I've received yesterday this, I guess, mid 70s Italian market Omega catalogue. In my opinion it is very interesting how they catalogued the Speedmaster under the Seamaster family-name section.
Funny also how they did not specify any reference, technical information (the technical description is something far way from today standard. They described the Hesalite glass as "Armored Glass"), or pricing.
I'll translate the first caption into English:
"A watch for sports, outdoors, dynamic lifestyle, the Seamster can be truly be defined as "the thrill of adventure on your wrist". The watch here pictured is the only wristwatch adopted by NASA for all its space missions. The first [watch] into space and the only one descended on the Moon. No other wristwatch, so far, can boast the achievements of the Speedmaster model: 45 space-flights, 6 Moon-landings, the only watch on the wrist of both Soviet and American cosmonauts in the Apollo-Soyuz space meeting. The Speedmaster present in Omega AD boutiques is the same watch that accomplished all those ventures".
