"When Generals Stafford and Leonov, both wearing Omega Speedmasters, shook hands in space on July 17, 1975, an era of cooperation in space began which would lead to the building of a permanently occupied space station."

The brand commemorates that historic handshake with the Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz chronograph, in a limited edition of 1,975 watches. Its dial is a single piece cut from a meteorite which survived its fiery entry into the earths atmosphere and subsequent impact on land.
