Dubbed the 'Tintin', this special Omega Speedmaster reference was introduced at Baselworld 2013 and only produced for a couple of years. Originally, Omega collaborated with the family of the Tintin creator Hergé to produce a watch inspired by the comic strip series. The main character Tintin famously visits the moon with a red and white-checkered rocket, which strongly resembles the 'racing' dial present on this watch. Besides the colour pattern, a spacecraft on the dial and a special case back were equally planned for this special edition but eventually not realised for the market since the family ended the collaboration with Omega before launching the model.
Likely stuck with a few extra dials featuring this pattern, Omega decided to release the model without any association with Tintin. Besides the dial, the watch is distinguished from regular models by the use of red paint instead of the standard black for the NASA flight-qualified engraving on the back.
Collectors have rapidly understood the appeal and desirability of the Speedmaster Tintin and the model has become one of the most sought-after and collectible modern Omega watches.
