Made in conjunction with the European Space Agency (ESA), OMEGA’s Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer is everything the name suggests.

Cased in grade 2 titanium and powered by a multifunctional quartz movement, the unique 45 mm chronograph can track times and time zones, across our own world and on the mysterious red planet. The MTC function tracks Mars’ sol date and time at the prime meridian: allowing for Mars’ 2.7% longer days. The watch also features an innovative solar compass, to find true north on Earth and Mars.

Its classic black dial provides a contrasting backdrop for the multiple analogue and digital readings, made even clearer by Earth and Mars symbols to distinguish which particular functions are in use. Circling the dial is an oxalic anodized aluminium bezel ring in red hematite, reminiscent of Mars’ distinctive dust. This striking shade is also present on the seconds hand, which has a black to red hematite gradient.

Turning the watch over reveals a caseback embossed in the centre with OMEGA’s famous Speedmaster wording and Seahorse logo. Circled by the words SPEEDMASTER X-33 MARSTIMER, ESA TESTED AND QUALIFIED. Providing the power is OMEGA’s 5622 Calibre.

For those wishing to switch out the grade 2 and 5 titanium bracelet, the Marstimer also comes with a dedicated NATO strap. This is included in the special watch roll, which has a nod to the red planet on its inner lining: a reproduction of Hebes Chasma, a unique steep-sided canyon on the surface of Mars.

Analogue functions include hours, minutes and seconds. Digital functions track time zones and date on Earth and Mars. The Mars functions can track the rover’s mission on the red planet, while the addition of a solar compass allows the watch to find true north on both Earth and Mars. Also included are traditional Speedmaster Skywalker X33 functions, such as MET (Mission Elapsed Time), PET (Phase Elapsed Time), Alarms and perpetual calendar.

Time & History

OMEGA’s story began in 1848, when Louis Brandt established a small workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, assembling pocket watches with locally sourced components. Under the guidance of his sons, the business evolved into full-scale manufacture, introducing the groundbreaking “Omega” calibre in 1894—a movement so advanced, the company adopted its name. By the early 20th century, OMEGA had become a global benchmark for precision, trusted to time the Olympic Games from 1932 and later chosen by NASA for the Apollo 11 mission, cementing its place in both horological and human history.

Beards’ own connection with OMEGA dates back to the 1920s, when Thomas Wilfred Waite began crafting pocket watches using OMEGA movements. It was the beginning of a longstanding partnership built on shared values—precision, reliability, and timeless design. From the Olympic stadium to the surface of the Moon, and famously the wrist of James Bond, OMEGA has continued to define moments that matter.

Today, we’re proud to offer a curated selection of OMEGA timepieces at our Cheltenham boutique—each one a reflection of Swiss excellence and enduring craftsmanship. We invite you to experience the collection in person, and discover the legacy behind the name.

Technology & Advancements

OMEGA has long stood at the forefront of horological innovation, redefining mechanical watchmaking with the introduction of the Co‑Axial escapement in 1999. Developed by master watchmaker George Daniels, this revolutionary mechanism significantly reduces friction within the movement, offering greater mechanical efficiency, long-term accuracy, and longer service intervals. This leap in escapement design, the first practical advancement in over two centuries, cemented OMEGA’s role as a pioneer in precision timekeeping.

Building on this foundation, OMEGA introduced its industry-leading Master Chronometer certification in partnership with METAS, ensuring each watch meets the highest standards of accuracy, performance, and magnetic resistance. By incorporating non-ferrous materials like silicon, OMEGA created movements that resist magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss—far exceeding conventional expectations. Every Master Chronometer watch endures eight rigorous tests, reflecting the brand’s dedication to reliability and innovation in real-world conditions.

OMEGA’s reputation for technical leadership also extends to material science and movement craftsmanship. From proprietary alloys like Sedna™ and Moonshine™ Gold to scratchproof ceramic and advanced O‑MegaSteel, the brand blends cutting-edge materials with meticulous Swiss manufacturing. In both mechanical and quartz realms, OMEGA has made history—introducing the first Swiss mass-produced quartz watch in 1969 and equipping NASA’s Apollo missions with the legendary Speedmaster, the first watch worn on the Moon. This spirit of innovation continues to define OMEGA as one of the most forward-thinking names in watchmaking.
