Axiom Space has partnered with Omega Watches to develop custom-made versions of their watches for Axiom Space crew and partners to be sent on Axiom space missions.

Omega's Speedmaster watches have a long history with space exploration, as they were worn by astronauts during the first moon landing mission in 1969. The X-33 model is a newer version of the Speedmaster designed specifically for space missions and features advanced technology for use in zero-gravity environments.

As part of the partnership, Omega will produce special editions of the Speedmaster X-33 and Moonwatch watches that will be exclusively available to Axiom Space crew members. The watches will be modified to withstand the extreme conditions of space travel and will be used during Axiom Space private missions to the International Space Station (ISS) and other destinations.

The partnership aims to promote space exploration and inspire people around the world to pursue their dreams of space travel.

Judging by the large chronograph hand, it looks like the Co-Axial 3861 Speedmaster is making its way to the ISS.

Axiom Space private astronauts Pilot John Shoffner and Mission Specialist Ali Alqarni enter the International Space Station shortly after the hatches were opened between the orbital outpost and the SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft.
