Overview

Description

The Speedmaster is an iconic watch. In 1965 it was flight-qualified by NASA for all manned

space missions and worn by Buzz Aldrin on the first lunar landing. Clooney was 9 years old at

the time.

The movie theatre environment perfectly blends the worlds of Clooney and Aldrin to create

a relaxed, natural setting for Aldrin to deliver his "director's commentary" of the space

experience. Totally unscripted, the pair had never met before - making this film a document

of this historic moment.

Execution

The 6 minute film was released on the 21st July 2017 - the date of the first moon landing -

on YouTube, omegawatches.com and at a launch event in the USA. It was followed up by a

series of 15 sec Instagram cut-downs and wider print /pr and social media campaign

celebrating 60 years of the OMEGA Speedmaster.

Outcome

The 6 min film had 1.5 million views in it's first week (YouTube) and continued to generates commentary on on blogs and newspapers during the 3 and 4th quarters of 2017.
