<cue Lloyd Christmas voice> WE LANDED ON THE MOON! For real though, this watch launched on the Saturn V, and then a thousand marketing campaigns (and one cute rom-com) and still remains immensely cool. With thousands of versions and variations to choose from—including a drool-worthy white face option—the Speedmaster will look good on any wrist, from Buzz Aldrin's to yours.

Originally made to time motor races (hence the name), Omega submitted it to NASA in the mid-60's and unlike every other manufacturer, it passed their rigorous test process and was spaceflight-rated in '64. It flew into space on the Gemini and Apollo missions and beyond, and you'll still find it on the wrists of astronauts today.

With special editions commemorating everything from space missions to Snoopy, there's a moonwatch for everyone. Keep an eye on the used market, know what you're looking for, and you could have one too.

A different kind of moonwatch...well, not that different (except for the price).
