OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon
OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon
As a part of all six moon landings in history, the legendary OMEGA Speedmaster stands as a true icon of space and embodies OMEGA’s pioneering spirit.
In this 44.25 mm model, the Speedmaster’s connection to the Apollo 8 mission is commemorated through the blackened movement. The main plate and bridges, laser-ablated to resemble the moon’s surface, are visible through the skeletonized black anodized aluminum dial, showcasing both the near and far sides through the caseback.
Displayed on a perforated black rubber strap with a yellow rubber interior, the entire timepiece is crafted in black ceramic. It features a varnished yellow chronograph seconds hand and a laser-engraved tachymeter scale on the bezel, filled with white enamel. The small-seconds subdial (patent pending) also boasts a grade 5 titanium hand shaped like the Saturn V rocket, achieved through laser turning for a 3D effect, with colors applied using white varnish, ablation, and laser blackening.
The OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3869 powers this specially decorated movement, while the caseback engravings pay homage to the historic Apollo 8 mission with inscriptions like "APOLLO 8, DEC 1968", "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON", "WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE", and "CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER."
