OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker and the Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer wristwatches on display at the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva 2025 Geneva in Switzerland.
From 9–13 April 2025, ESA was guest of honour at the exhibition with more than 1000 inventions, which attracted 30 000 visitors from the public. ESA showcased its new technologies and applications that have been invented for space missions and patented for use in and outside the space arena.
Two OMEGA watches were on display, the Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker and the Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer, which incorporate advanced technologies developed by ESA. The Marstimer is the first wristwatch to display the time on Earth and Mars. Developed in partnership with ESA’s Mars exploration teams and tested at ESA–ESTEC, this timepiece is space-tough and Mars-mission ready.
