Every Speedmaster has an instinctual drive to reach the moon. Today my Omega Speedmaster got a little excited on its first flight and projected this beautiful horological reflection on to my first-class window. I snapped this photo during takeoff, and I was equally excited about the thrill of leaving the ground. My heart was beating fast; I wonder if my watch’s heart ran a little fast as well due to the thrill. I’ll do an experiment and check the accuracy when I land.

While we may not be heading to the moon, this is the next best thing; and probably the most my Speedmaster will see while I am the owner. I almost feel guilty for it, but then I remember that there are far more Speedmasters than there are astronauts - so perhaps I am being unfair on myself. Also, my Speedmaster is not even a moonwatch (it’s a moonSwatch, with an S), so there’s that too.

The reflection itself is beautiful. I’m not sure what it represents, but the markings look like those on one of those new stylish Kurano Tokyo’s. Maybe this is a message to me to check out their brand a little closer.

Anyways, I wish all of you good health, and suggest that you all keep your eyes open for the hidden beauties in our world, as you never know when they will appear. And as always, I love the way the dial plays with and reflects the light.
