Made in conjunction with the European Space Agency (ESA), OMEGA’s Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer is everything the name suggests.

Cased in grade 2 titanium and powered by a multifunctional quartz movement, the unique 45 mm chronograph can track times and time zones, across our own world and on the mysterious red planet. The MTC function tracks Mars’ sol date and time at the prime meridian: allowing for Mars’ 2.7% longer days. The watch also features an innovative solar compass, to find true north on Earth and Mars, try that with an Apple Watch !



Its classic black dial provides a contrasting backdrop for the multiple analogue and digital readings, made even clearer by Earth and Mars symbols to distinguish which particular functions are in use. Circling the dial is an oxalic anodized aluminium bezel ring in red hematite, reminiscent of Mars’ distinctive dust. This striking shade is also present on the seconds hand, which has a black to red hematite gradient.

It’s bad enough to find out you’re going to Mars and then obsess about owning this watch…

But a purist would buy the watch and then obsess about how to get to Mars so he (or she) could try it out!!! 🤨 🚀 🤯
