Vintage Omax Spaceman Audacieuse Automatic Brown Dial Date 70s Le Marquand Watch

About this watch

An icon of 1970s space-age design: the Spaceman Audacieuse, conceived by designer André Le Marquand and produced here under the Omax name. The design is the star: an angular, sculpted case with a deep hood over the top of the dial, inspired by an astronaut's helmet, with angled side crystal panels flowing into a stepped integrated bracelet.

The brown textured dial carries the "spaceman audacieuse" signature with rocket logo, applied square markers and printed batons, a date window near six o'clock, skeleton hands with red inserts, a red centre cap and an orange centre seconds hand. It is signed "Omax Automatic Swiss Made" with the "T225" tritium marking. The clasp is signed Spaceman.

Brand heritage

The Spaceman was created by André Le Marquand and caused a sensation when it appeared in the early 1970s. The rectangular Audacieuse version followed the original oval model and was sold under several Swiss watch brand names, including Omax, making these watches genuine pieces of 1970s design history that are now keenly collected.
