Omega Revives The Iconic ‘The First Omega in Space’ Speedmaster With Modern Updates
Omega’s legendary ‘The First Omega in Space’ Speedmaster has returned with several visually striking updates. The timepiece was reimagined from its predecessor with the reference number CK2998, which was released in 1959. Notable updates include a 39.70mm stainless steel case, a black aluminium bezel with the historic ‘Dot Over Ninety’ design (referring to the inconsistent dot on the 90 marker), and a hesalite-like sapphire crystal. In addition, the timepiece has a grey-blue CVD-coated dial that is complemented by the vintage luminescent Alpha hands, along with Omega’s retro logos. The limited-edition watch is powered by the advanced Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, a manual winding chronograph movement that evolved from Omega’s Calibre 321, offering superior precision and performance. Available with a leather strap or metal bracelet, each timepiece is stored in a special presentation box honouring Omega’s space exploration legacy.

Chelsea Barracks Collaborates With Studio Squire For Three Exclusively Designed Apartments
Located in the stately Belgravia neighbourhood in the heart of London, Chelsea Barracks is a new development that is generating interest and sales from all over the world. Within its 9 Mulberry Square residential address, three apartments have been dressed and designed by Squire Studio, a husband-and-wife team that connects and considers all dimensions of design, so that a house becomes a home that is truly lived in. Many home decor and interior design elements in the apartments are bespoke, while sourcing from and advocating for British craftsmanship and manufacturing. From antiques to contemporary artworks and from 1930s art deco pieces to colour schemes inspired by the abundance of nature and greenery in and around Chelsea Barracks, the apartments will not want for anything and for anyone seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of London. Owners of these Studio Squire-design apartments will also have full access to The Garrison Club at Grenadier Gardens, which Robb Report Malaysia visited earlier this year.
Studio Squire has designed a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom and a four-bedroom apartment in 9 Mulberry Square in Chelsea Barracks. Prices start from £3.4 million for the one-bedroom apartment, while the four-bedroom apartment costs £20 million.
