Buzz Aldrin is as close to royalty as they get in the United States and, just as we have on significant anniversaries for our monarch, he has had a new portrait of him unveiled by Omega in the anniversary week of him setting foot on the moon on July 21, 1969.
As Omega has been reminding us at around this time for the past 53 years, Mr Aldrin was wearing his Speedmaster Professional as he made his giant leap for mankind.
That Speedmaster, and every one since that has been worn on the moon, is powered by Omega’s Calibre 321; trusted by astronauts for its accuracy and reliability.
