"""Moonwatch Only is certainly one of the best books ever written about a single watch model."" - William Massena - Timezone.com

""It is an indescribable reference work and a true must-have for every Speedmaster collector."" - Forbes

""The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional - the Moonwatch - has done things that no other timepiece has done and it's been worn in places that only a few human beings have been."" - Captain Eugene Cernan, 'Last man on the moon'

There are very few timepieces in the world that deserve a definitive and comprehensive book such as this one. The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is one of them. Initially designed for automobile racing teams and engineers, the Omega Speedmaster embarked on a very different trajectory when NASA chose it to accompany astronauts heading for the Moon in 1965. Its involvement in the space adventure has propelled the Moonwatch to the top of the list of celebrated timepieces.

After years of research and observation, the authors present a complete panorama of the Moonwatch in a systematic work that is both technical and attractive, making it the inescapable reference book for this legendary watch.

This third edition marking the 60th anniversary of the Speedmaster has been enriched with numerous new features including a 16-page gallery of astronauts and their Speedmaster, QR codes to extend your exploration and a detailed story of a vintage Speedmaster.

AUTHORS: Anthony Marquie is a French national and a trained aeronautical engineer.

Gregoire Rossier is a Swiss biologist specialising in bioinformatics.

Anthony Marquié is a French national and a trained aeronautical engineer. He swiftly turned to an international career in finance and investments. He has always been a collector of both modern and vintage watches, including many icons from the Omega production. Today he spends a lot of his time looking for rare examples, as well as studying the market for prestigious watches and collector's pieces. Grégoire Rossier is a Swiss biologist specialising in bioinformatics. He became a watch enthusiast at the age of 13 when he inherited his first Omega Seamaster, but it was only much later that he started serious research on the Moonwatch. Applying his experience as a researcher, he developed a systematic database of thousands of entries referencing all his observations as well as the market trends for several versions of the Speedmaster.

Reviews for Moonwatch Only: The Ultimate OMEGA Speedmaster Guide

Moonwatch Only is certainly one of the best books ever written about a single watch model. - William Massena - Timezone.com. It is an indescribable reference work and a true must-have for every Speedmaster collector. - Forbes. This book sets a new standard. Not only for books on the Omega Speedmaster, but for watch books in general. I've never seen anything like it, and believe me when I tell you that I could fill an impressive sized wall with books on watches. Authors of other books or publishers should take a look at Moonwatch Only as well to see how it should be done. - Robert Jan Broer, FratelloWatches. The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional - the Moonwatch - has done things that no other timepiece has done and it's been worn in places that only a few human beings have been. - Captain Eugene Cernan, 'Last man on the moon'. This book is a no-brainer still. It is the most complete work on the Speedmaster in print that is available. -- Fratello Magazine.
