Just a backstory.

I am trying to get into watches. I dont have much knowledge. Iโ€™ve picked up a couple of seikos and im in love with them. I got gifted this Omega moonswatch, and its a beautiful timepiece.

Is there something I need to know about this watch? What is your guys opinion on this particular timepiece. Also, do you recommend if i change the strap?

In the midst of the Apollo 13 crisis, the Omega Speedmaster emerged as an unexpected hero. When the spacecraft's onboard systems failed, astronauts relied on their Speedmasters to time engine burns with precision. This unanticipated role showcased the watch's remarkable accuracy under pressure, demonstrating its crucial contribution to safely navigating the crippled spacecraft back to Earth. The Omega Speedmaster, often known as the "Moonwatch," further solidified its legacy as an iconic symbol of human space exploration, forever etching its name in the history of manned space missions. ๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ•’
