Continuing the evolution of one of its most popular watch designs, Omega has created the new Speedmaster CK2998 Limited Edition, a sophisticated model that combines iconic lines with new innovations.
The original Omega CK2998 was released in 1959 and, for collectors, it has since become one of the most sought-after vintage Speedmasters in the world – it was even the first Omega in space, with astronaut Walter “Wally” Schirra wearing his own personal Speedmaster CK2998 during the 1962 “Sigma 7” mission of the Mercury program.

The new Speedmaster CK2998 Limited Edition model features three subdials in black, a black polished ceramic bezel with a white enamel pulsometer scale, and a black leather strap with a white rubber interior that has been micro-perforated.
The piece’s polished and brushed stainless steel case is complemented by a lightly sand-blasted silvery dial that also houses a number of exquisite features, including blackened “Alpha” hands; a chronograph seconds hand in varnished red; and hour and minute hands in Super-LumiNova for increased visibility in dark conditions.
