To celebrate the shared history of the global watchmaker and the famous American space agency, Omega is honoring its unrivalled legacy of space exploration with a range of new Velcro straps with astronaut-friendly fixtures and bold branding.
Nicknamed the "meatball", NASA's famous planet-shaped insignia in red, white and blue, released in 1959, captures the space-age optimism of the mid-20th century.
Omega's Velcro straps are available in three colors: black, white and silver. Black represents the darkness of space and the actual straps worn on the lunar surface. The shade is also a perfect match for the Moonwatch dial.
White is a nod to the Apollo-era spacesuits and the evocative title of Omega's historic mission to create the perfect space watch the Alaska Project.
Silver pays tribute to the shiny suits worn on the pre-Apollo missions: Gemini and Mercury. It is also a suitable bracelet replacement for wearers who like the versatility of Velcro and the look of metal.
