OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MARK III AUTOMATIC DATE JEDI CHRONOGRAPH 41mm Caliber 1040 Circa: 1973. Ref. ST 176.002 was launched in 1971. This watch holds a unique place in the Omega collection of the 1970s. Its case is from the "Pilot" line of cases which was used for the "Flightmaster", as well as on "Seamasters", making it the only "Speedmaster Professional"to share its case design with ooth chronograph and non-chronograph models. It is also the first self-winding "Speedmaster Professional" (patent CH 558.556), pre-dating by two years the famous "Speedy 125", the movement of which is a certified chronometer version of this caliber.
It is interesting that the Omega advertising for the "Mark III" states, "After six landings on the moon, there was only one thing we could teach the Speedmaster. To wind itself, "Ironically, had the Speedmaster been self-winding in 1962 it probably would vever have passed NASA's stringent tests. This is due to two things: first, self-winding movements do not wind in zero gravity environments; second, these movements tend to be less robust than manual winding ones. THIS IS A FINE COLLECTIBLE.
