Buzz Aldrin Stars in New Louis Vuitton and Omega Campaigns

In honor of the 40th anniversary of man’s historical first steps on the moon in 1969, luxury companies are snatching up former astronaut Buzz Aldrin for their Fall Campaigns.
Louis Vuitton has been known to use shocking figureheads outside the realm of celebrity and beauty before, like their 2007 ad campaign with Mikhail Gorbachev, but Buzz Aldrin—shot by Annie Leibovitz—is certainly the coolest one yet. Omega’s ties to Aldrin date back to the actual moon landing when Aldrin famously wore an Omega Speedmaster to the moon. It was the only watch tested by NASA that was discovered to be compatible with the lunar environment. To celebrate this achievement Omega will launch a limited edition of 69 platinum versions of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Apollo 11 “40th Anniversary” watch. And that’s plenty to buzz about!
