OUR STORY

As a lifelong NASA fan, I fell in love with the Omega Speedmasters flown on Apollo XI. When my wife was pregnant with our daughter, I set a goal to buy a pre-owned Speedy—and I did just that. I planned to wear it daily and someday pass it down to my children.

​

As an Industrial Designer, the urge to customize my watch was inevitable. I know watch modification can carry a bit of stigma, but I wanted mine to feel personal. I swapped the bracelet for a vintage one. I replaced the caseback with an old service part. I even sourced a dial that looked like it came straight out of 1969. And then came the bezel—the design I’ve always loved, whether on Astronaut Al Worden’s wrist or on the Alaska Prototypes: the radial bezel.

One day, it struck me that I should bring the radial bezel back to life for my own watch. After a series of prototypes, I was finally able to resurrect it. The result is the exact anodized bezel insert I wear on my Speedmaster today—and now, I’m proud to offer it to fellow enthusiasts who share my passion.

​

I’m not a purist. I’m an enthusiast. I’ll continue to customize and modify if it brings me joy. Radial Project has brought endless enjoyment to my wrist, and I hope it does the same for you.
