The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch has a new and very futuristic teammate known as the X-33 Marstimer. The brand teamed up with the European Space Agency to create one of the most unique watches we’ve seen in a while. It’s an analog-digital grade 2 titanium timepiece that uses an MTC function to actually track Mars’ date and time at the prime meridian. It also has a solar compass to locate true north on both Earth and Mars, in case you’re taking the trip to the red planet anytime soon. The Marstimer also has Mission Elapsed Time, Phase Elapsed Time, alarms, and a perpetual calendar. As for specs, the large case measure 45mm and gets its own rugged grade 5 titanium bracelet. The bezel even matches the dust on Mars, not that anyone did first-hand research.
