Omega recently announced the return to production of the historic 321: the news was received with all the appreciation that a movement of this value deserves, and we at IWS would like to introduce you to how and why the caliber 321 has become one of the best and most sought after chronographs. After the great triumph of the moon landing, this movement was replaced by the equally famous Omega 861, decreeing the end of production of the 321. Many have failed, others lacked very little, but only one caliber really succeeded, proving to be up to such an important role. The tests and trials that the various candidates have had to endure are impressive: resistance to severe acceleration, operation at critical temperatures and much more. Indeed, it was a well-deserved privilege: the Speedmaster was chosen for its robustness, for its efficiency it was chosen simply because it was the best. When we talk about the Omega Speedmaster, we immediately think of the Moonwatch: a historic watch, famous for being on the wrist of the astronauts on the first moon landing, serving and assisting in one of the most important feats in the history of mankind. The Speedy is one of those watches that has left an indelible mark not only on the wrists and hearts of us fans, but also in history. If one were to rank the five most iconic chronographs in the world of watchmaking, the Omega Speedmaster would undoubtedly be one of them. ![]()
