Elon Musk, the billionaire who recently made headlines, is part of the Stephen Hawking prize for science communication at the Starmus V festival in Zurich, Switzerland.
The Tesla tycoon joins the second man on the moon, buzz aldrin, who wears an omega Speedmaster on the lunar surface, known as the fabled thing;” Said Raynald Aeschlimann, President and chief executive of replica omega, as well as Brian Eno, a British producer and musician, and the producer of the Apollo 11 documentary, which received a precious replica watch. 
Starmus V and Stephen Hawking medal for scientific communication
Omega sponsors the festival and the Stephen Hawking medal for science communication, named after the late physicist and cosmologist, which honors work that “helps raise public awareness of science.”
The winner is Speedmaster Moonwatch, the “first omega in space”; but this watch is made of 18K Sedna gold. It is based on the one worn by astronaut Walter Schirra on the 1962 Sigma 7 mission to mercury, during which he orbited earth six times.
The updated design has brown polished ceramic ring and matte chromium-nitride tachymeter scales, as well as brown PVD subdial and ivory silver central dial. The base cover is engraved with “winner of the STEPHEN HAWKING medal for science communication” and laser engraving of the medal itself, which depicts the Starmus logo, images of Alexei Leonov on the first human space walk, and “Red Special” guitar queen Brian may.
Aldrin’s replica watch presented a special lifetime achievement award as a breakthrough astronaut and longtime omega brand ambassador. Mr Musk’s medal and watches (which he did not receive in person in Zurich) are being awarded to him for “his achievements in space travel and human beings”.
“It’s an honor to be among the most prominent members of the scientific community,” Aeschlimann said at the event.”I know that these winners do deserve medals, and they all show a great commitment to human understanding and progress. Omega has its own history and future in space, so we are delighted to join the celebration and share this common pursuit of excellence.”
