Introduced at Baselworld 2012 back in March, the Omega Speedmaster Racing, is a more affordable version of the brand's Co-Axial Speedmaster.

Instead of utilizing Omega's new in-house manufacture Co-Axial caliber 9300 which we discussed here.The Speedmaster Racing is powered by exclusive self-winding chronograph movement - caliber 3300. Caliber 3300 is considerably more affordable than the 9300, yet it still features Omega's proprietary Co-Axial escapement with 3 levels, a Si14 silicon balance spring, NIVACHOC shock absorber and a column-wheel chronograph mechanism. It has 31 jewels, runs at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and a power-reserve of 52-hours. Moreover, it is an officially certified chronometer.

In the early 1970s, Omega created a small number of prototype Speedmasters, specifically made to withstand the low temperatures of space. The watches were never approved by NASA, as they thought the Speedmaster was already sufficient, so the prototypes never went into production. Fast forward to 2008, and Omega decided to produce a limited edition tribute to the Alaska Project. That is what Ochocinco is seen wearing above, in the picture which he posted to his Facebook page earlier today. As you might expect, he is wearing it with the huge 58 mm x 26 mm red outer case!

A number of wristwatches have been worn in space, but none are as famous as the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.

The Speedmaster was first launched in 1957 and was originally designed as a sports and racing chronograph in conjunction with Omega's partnership as the official timekeeper of the Olympic games. It was powered by the manually wound Omega Calibre 321, developed in 1946 by Albert Piguet of Lemania, which had been acquired in 1932 by Omega's parent company, SSIH. The model featured a 12-hour, triple-register chronograph layout, domed Hesalite crystal (plexiglass), and high-contrast indexes.
