Notes After the first Moon landing, Omega decided - using the name Mark II (indicating the second series) - to offer a model more in keeping with the fashion of the time, to complement the already popular Moon Watch. Esthetically different, it maintained the technical features of the Moon Watch. For the first time in the Speedmaster line, the watch uses a flat mineral crystal with the timing scale printed on the inside. This watch is published on pages 52-53 of “The Master of Omega”.
