Earlier this year, Omega introduced a new limited edition of the Speedmaster… but not any kind of edition, since this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing and thus, the 50th anniversary of a Speedmaster worn on the wrist of astronauts while walking on the Moon!

Junghans launches two groovy 1972 Competition limited editions
It's not a well-known piece of trivia, but the German brand Junghans was one of the official timekeepers for the Summer Olympic Games held in Munich in 1972 (the other was Longines). Although we associate the brand from the Black Forest with minimalist Bauhaus-driven designs, Junghans also played an important role in the Munich Olympics, providing timekeeping instruments for disciplines like the 100m, archery and rowing. Junghans even developed an electronic start control, a Multi Counter device to track boats individually and produced the world's first colour finish line photos accurate to one-hundredth of a second. To mark the brand's involvement in the Olympic Games, Junghans also produced a series of civilian watches, including a chronograph known as the Olympic Bullhead (ref. 688.10) with a groovy 1970s case powered by a manual-winding Valjoux 7734.? What goes around comes around, and the 1972 model is back to celebrate its 50th birthday in two limited editions: one in stainless s
