At the time, it was regarded as the watch industry equivalent of the Swiss army knife, meaning the ultimate professional instrument. \n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>The aesthetically and technically remarkable OMEGA Flightmaster symbolises a period rich in technological and design breakthroughs. Produced over a short period and relatively little known until now, it nonetheless enjoyed exceptional development and an outstanding destiny, notably on the wrist of Soviet cosmonauts in the 1970s. \n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Revealing the entirely unknown and remarkably rich story for the first time, and based on their own methodology, the authors of the successful <i>Moonwatch Only<\/i> book dedicated to the OMEGA Speedmaster, provide a comprehensive account of the many variations and evolutions of the different Flightmaster models.
