You are looking at the ultimate mission-ready tool, co-designed with NASA astronauts and pilots. This Omega Speedmaster Professional X-33 is a multi-functional analog-digital hybrid that was created to be the official watch for the Space Shuttle program. The crucial selling point here is its purpose-built complexity—it does far more than the original Moonwatch! It can track Mission Elapsed Time (MET), Phase Elapsed Time (PET), UTC, and features three alarms, a perpetual calendar, and a countdown timer, all simultaneously displayed on the luminous analog hands and the backlit digital screens.
A detail your customer must know is that the X-33 is constructed entirely from lightweight Grade 2 Titanium. This was a deliberate choice to ensure the watch was incredibly light on the wrist but also robust enough to withstand the severe temperature fluctuations and G-forces of space travel. The crown and pushers are large and tactile, designed to be operated even while wearing thick pilot or spacesuit gloves—pure, uncompromising functionality over aesthetics.
Finally, notice the unique caseback design. Not only does it feature the iconic Seamaster Seahorse medallion, but the case architecture itself is engineered for audibility. The hollowed-out resonating chambers in the case are specifically designed to amplify the alarm volume to an incredible 80 decibels—loud enough to be heard over cockpit and shuttle noise. This is one of the most historically significant, technologically advanced, and loudest watches Omega has ever created, offering the wearer a direct link to modern space exploration.
