OMEGA presents a new variation of the Speedmaster Pilot timepiece with the launch of the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph "Flight Qualified" design. It is a military-spec reworked approach to the signature Speedy model which is developed with a sharp aesthetic.
The new Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph model comes with its own rich narrative and it kicked off with leaked images a few months ago. It was seen in a U-2 Dragon Lady reconnaissance plane worn by an American pilot. The model retains the stainless steel case construction but some changes include the matte brushed finish, which is a rarity for the Speedmaster series. It nods to the cockpit reflections which is a very important component for pilots.
