Invited guests were treated to a sumptuous, exclusive dinner under the sparkling stars with soothing music from Thailand’s top artists, singer Jennifer Kim and saxophonist Koh Mr Saxman, who performed at the event.

On July 21, 1969, two NASA astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, became the first human beings ever to set foot on the surface of a celestial body. The feat has been described as one of mankind’s crowning technological achievements and OMEGA was literally on hand on this historic occasion.

OMEGA celebrated the 45th anniversary of the first lunar landing at an extravagant “Moonwatch” event at Siam Paragon’s Parc Paragon, Bangkok.

Buzz Aldrin had an OMEGA Speedmaster Professional chronograph strapped around his spacesuit, while Neil Armstrong had left his own Speedmaster aboard the Lunar Landing Module as a reliable backup to the electronic timekeeping system.
